ADU Fees & Waivers

Per State law, ADUs less than 750 square feet are not subject to impact fees and ADUs 750 square feet or larger are subject to impact fees proportional to the primary dwelling unit. For a complete list of City impact fees, please click here

To further incentivize ADUs, the City has waived permitting fees for building permits for ADUs applied for between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2026. Permit fees are waived for ADUs less than 750 square feet and ADUs 750 square feet or larger that are deed restricted as lower-income units for a period of 55 years. This results in a savings of approximately $2,500 to $6,000 depending on the valuation of the ADU. When applying for a building permit, submit a completed ADU Permit / Plan Check Fee Waiver Form, if the ADU is eligible for a fee waiver.
