Built around LADBS, LA County, and Southern California lot conditions.
Silver Lake bungalows, Mar Vista lots, Pasadena historic overlays, Beverly Hills hillside setbacks, Santa Monica coastal review, Burbank, Glendale, Culver City, and the unincorporated county — each carries its own plan-check pattern. We map yours during a feasibility brief before drawing begins, so the LA rental income math is grounded in the actual permit path your address sits on.

Los Angeles FAQ
Questions LA homeowners ask first.
Cost, timing, permits, and rental income — anchored in LADBS and LA County practice.
What does an ADU cost in Los Angeles?
Detached new construction across LA County typically runs $300–$425 per finished sq ft all-in. A turnkey 800 sq ft detached ADU lands around $250,000–$425,000 depending on finishes, site work, and utility conditions.How long does LADBS permitting take?
Standard-plan LADBS ADU permits clear in roughly 8–14 weeks once a complete plan set is submitted. Custom designs add 2–6 weeks for plan check and corrections; we manage the response cycle as part of the design-build engagement.Can I build a garage conversion in LA?
Most permitted, structurally sound LA garages can be converted into a legal ADU. State law overrides most local zoning restrictions for converted garages, which is why this is often the fastest path to keys.Will an ADU reassess my property taxes?
Only the new ADU is reassessed at current market value — your existing home keeps its Prop 13 protected base. On a $325K detached ADU that translates to roughly $3,400–$4,000 of additional annual property tax.What rental income can an LA ADU produce?
Long-term 1-bed / 600 sq ft units rent for roughly $1,900–$3,100 per month across LA depending on neighborhood. After management and a 5% vacancy assumption, net yield-on-cost typically lands 10–16%.How do I verify my LA ADU contractor is licensed?
Look up the license on the California Contractors State License Board portal at cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices. Confirm the classification is B (general building), the bond is current, and workers' compensation is active. Cross-check with BBB and LA County Consumer Affairs for complaint history.
