WHERE ON MY PROPERTY CAN I BUILD AN ADU?
Make short answer
HOW MANY ADU's CAN I HAVE ON MY PROPERTY?
Single-family homes are permitted to have one ADU (which can be attached, detached, or converted) and one JADU. Multifamily properties can have up to two detached ADUs, including those that do not meet zoning standards. Detached ADUs on multifamily properties follow the same approval process as those on single-family homes, with the primary distinction being the height restrictions.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF AN ADU?
The size of an ADU is determined by its type, specifically whether it is attached to or detached from the main house. For an attached ADU, its size cannot exceed 50% of the existing home’s size or 1,200 square feet, whichever is smaller. Exceptions to the 50% size limit (but not the 1,200 square feet limit) may apply if the main house has more than one bedroom. For a detached ADU, the maximum size allowed is 1,200 square feet.
CAN I CONVERT AN EXISTING STRUCTURE INTO AN ADU?
Yes, and ADU…
DOES AN ADU HAVE IT'S OWN ADDRESS?
Yes, an ADU needs its own address and a separate bill from the main house.
WILL AN ADU ADD VALUE TO MY PROPERTY?
The National Association of Realtors reveals that, in the largest cities, a home with an ADU can add 35% to a home’s value, on average.
WILL ADDING AN ADU RAISE MY PROPERTY TAXES?
Yes, ADUs/JADUs will be evaluated by San Diego County based on their current value. However, any existing square footage that is not affected by the project will not be reassessed.
CAN I SELL MY ADU IN CALIFORNIA?
The ADU cannot be sold or transferred independently of the primary residence. It can be rented, but it is not meant to be sold separately from the main house.
CAN I RENT OUT MY ADU?
Yes, ADUs/JADUs can be rented for a minimum period of 30 consecutive days. Â
