When it comes to building an ADU, or Accessory Dwelling Unit, there are a few factors to consider. One common question is about the size restrictions for building an ADU. Generally speaking, the maximum height for an ADU is limited to 16 feet. However, if you plan to build a smaller ADU that does not exceed this height restriction and is less than 750 square feet, you may not face any building permit restrictions. It is important to note that if you plan to create an ADU within an existing structure or building, you may be able to match the height of the structure.
Here are some key takeaways to consider when building a small ADU:
An ADU must not exceed 16 feet in height
If your ADU is smaller than 16 feet in height and less than 750 square feet, you may not face building permit restrictions
If you plan to create an ADU within an existing structure or building, you may be able to match the height of the structure
Building a small ADU is a great way to create additional living space on your property. By keeping these guidelines in mind, you can ensure that your ADU is built according to code and without any unnecessary restrictions.
