Our process begins with assessing your existing structure and lot to determine feasibility and the most effective placement for a rental unit.
California has state-level laws that set minimum standards for ADU development. These often include size limits and setback requirements. Local jurisdictions may have additional rules regarding design, parking, and utility connections. We guide you through these specific local requirements to ensure compliance.

While there isn't a universal $40,000 grant for all ADUs in California, various programs and incentives may exist at state or local levels. These often target specific income levels or project types. We can help identify potential funding opportunities relevant to your project.
