While the new statewide ADU laws have made it much easier to add an ADU in San Diego, each municipality operates with a different set of requirements. Knowing how to scope & prepare your ADU project can mean the difference between a quick permit issuance and a drawn-out, costly process of resubmittals and additional fees.<\/p>\n

We are constantly working to better understand ADU regulations in Greater San Diego and how to help our clients effectively navigate them. Click below to investigate the most important parts of your city’s ADU regulations. If you work with SnapADU, our feasibility study assesses all of the local and state rules that apply to your property & project.<\/p>\n
