Thinking About Building an ADU on Your San Diego Property?

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also known as granny flats, in-law suites, or casitas, are independent living spaces either attached or detached from the main home. They provide a versatile solution for accommodating family members or generating rental income. As space for new homes becomes limited and large construction projects become costly, ADUs offer a practical and popular alternative to address the local housing crisis.

Benefits of Building an ADU on Your San Diego Property

• Accommodate Family Members: Provide independent living space for aging parents or adult children.
• Generate Rental Income: Create a rental unit to supplement your income.
• Increase Property Value: Significantly boost your property’s overall value.

ADU Regulations in California

• Permissible Units: You can build one full ADU and one Junior ADU (JADU) on a qualifying property.
• Setback Requirements: Minimum of 4 feet from the sides and rear of your property.
• Size Limits: ADUs can be up to 1,200 square feet and up to 24 feet tall without special approvals. Smaller municipalities must still allow ADUs up to 850 square feet, or 1,000 square feet for two-bedroom units.

Building an ADU is a smart investment, but it’s essential to ensure compliance with local regulations to avoid potential refinancing or resale issues, as well as fines or mandatory removal of the unit.
