Practical ADU Information for Bay Area Homeowners
Homeowners considering an ADU project in California often benefit from understanding a few important guidelines:
- Detached ADUs in California may be built up to 1,200 square feet
- Attached ADUs may be up to 50% of the existing home’s living area
- Building permits are required for all ADU projects
- ADUs may be used for long-term or short-term rental purposes depending on local regulations
- Only the newly constructed ADU portion is reassessed for property taxes
