Before you spend money on permit drawings, have experienced planners check your design against your city's setbacks, height limits, parking rules, and fee thresholds. Catch deal-breakers early and walk into the permit office with confidence.
Every California city layers its own ADU ordinance on top of state law. A layout that is perfectly legal in one city can be rejected a few miles away. Plan review catches those conflicts while they are still cheap to fix — on the sketch, not the permit set.
A simple path from idea to a build-ready ADU.
Permit-ready drawings cost real money. If the underlying layout violates a setback or triggers a costly fee, you pay to draw the mistake and then pay again to fix it. A review up front protects that spend.
Use our city regulations pages to see the rules that apply, then let our planners pressure-test your specific design against them.
Cities approve complete, compliant applications faster. Walking in with a design that already respects your setbacks, height, and parking removes the most common reasons for rejection and back-and-forth.
Everything you need to plan, design, and build your ADU — start to finish.
Design a floorplan free, then send it to our planners for a city-specific code check before you permit.
