  • How much does an ADU cost in California?" If you're considering adding an ADU to invest or to add it to sell your house, you're going to want to watch and see what your options are.
    I interview a close friend of mine who is in the final stages of his ADU project and he helps provide us with valuable insights with his experience on ADU costs, permits, and the entire construction process. In this video, we'll delve into the specifics of David's ADUs in Ontario, CA, and the Inland Empire region.
    David discusses his breakdown of ADU costs, including construction expenses, permit fees, and other related expenditures. His experience can give you a realistic idea of what to expect when budgeting for an ADU project.
    In addition to financial considerations and permit procedures, we'll discuss the typical timeline for constructing an ADU in California. From the initial planning stages to the final touches, understanding the time it takes to build an ADU is crucial for managing expectations and making informed decisions.
    Whether you're interested in a garage conversion or a new construction ADU, we'll cover various options and their associated costs. We'll also explore the benefits of ADUs and how they can increase property value and provide additional rental income.

    My backyard ADU is going to cost about $200K, which includes a pool demolition. Fill the old pool with dirt, 745 sq ft. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath. Located in Sacramento.

    The minimum distance between the property line and ADU is called a “set back”.

    What made me made me mad on my project is that SoCa Edison told me they will only do one drop per property. In other words, I could not use a separate service panel for the detached ADU. I had to convert the service panel of the main residence into a dual meter power panel and then run the conduit to the sub panel of the ADU. So, if I ever build a house on a vacant lot I would install a dual meter panel for just in case of a future structure.

    Realize when you talk to the city they are usually unfamiliar with recent California legislation changes and the city requirements are generally over restrictive. Many of the planning department employees have less than a year on the job and don’t know what they are talking about. Also, solar can be on your residence vs the ADU.

      Folks need to realize the State is not very Prescriptive when writing and passing this type of legislation. And Planning, Building Depts. And Fire Marshall’s have to make sense out of it. Considering all the Building,Zoning and Fire regulations for each region in the state. The state did a very loosey goosey job. Their intent was to provide affordable housing this isn’t happening. Instead it’s a great opportunity for homeowners to enhance their own financial situation. And that’s fine.

      Hi @@MrVnk811 , it's hard to put a number on it, because there are so many factors to building an ADU. Such as the contractor that you're using, quality of material you're adding and any cost of city permits. In California, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that are 750 square feet or larger may be charged impact fees. These fees are proportional to the size of the ADU in relation to the primary residence. Larger ADUs may have fees that can approach $20,000. These fees can include:
      Sewer connection fees
      School fees
      Plan check and permit fees
      On average, ADUs cost around $150 to $300 per square foot. However, some ADUs can cost over $600 per square foot. Each city has specific requirements, so it's best to check with local authorities to determine the necessary permits and associated costs.

    Yes, HOA’s are very important, we had a home where we live who wanted to add a pantry to the side of their kitchen that is on the front side of the house. They submitted designs and the HOA approved, it looks beautiful. So it does happen, but takes time & depends on the HOA committe 🧐

    Can you build an ADU before you build a main house? If we are allowed to build an ADU prior to building the main house, do we need plans for the main house prior to building an ADU. and how much time do we have to live in the ADU?

    Your HOA cannot stand in the way of your accessory dwelling unit. Reasonable restrictions may be placed on your ADU, but your ability to build is currently protected by California law.

      @christianmedinarealtor6070  10 місяців тому +4

      Hi Christian. It could be for various reasons. In this case, there is not enough room to put another structure on the same lot. Other reasons why it may not work could be, it cost's more, more permits may be difficult to get approved, space b/w the ADU's may have to be a certain distance, etc, etc. Are you planning on building ADU's?
