SnapADU is proud to have been selected by the City of San Marcos to design their pre-approved ADU plans through a competitive bid process with over two dozen applicants. This recognition highlights our expertise in delivering high-quality, efficient, and fully compliant ADU designs as well as our experience in the city. Read more about pre-approved ADU plans.

One unusual requirement in San Marcos is that ADUs generally cannot be in the front yard (though SB-897 passed Aug 2022 will limit city’s ability to enforce this). They also require a soils report for ADUs >500 sqft. San Marcos allows for digital submissions. Turnaround times at the city are moderate.

Additionally, we have seen San Marcos projects require interaction with the Community Facilities Districts (CFD), which are commonly referred to as Mello-Roos Districts, to finance local public facilities and services. This can add months to the processing time.
