How can I apply for an ADU?

When will I be able to use a Pre-Approved ADU Standard Plan?
Beginning in January 2023, a catalog of Pre-Approved ADU Standard Plans will be available for you to browse on the Standard Plans page. After choosing your preferred model, you’ll contact the architect directly to purchase, finalize, and submit the plan for permits. Standard Plans will speed up County review and approval processes, give you a head start to building an ADU (especially if you don’t know where to start), and ensure that you work with qualified, experienced professionals.
