ADU Rules by City in California

California's statewide ADU law sets a floor every city must meet — but size ceilings, parking, owner-occupancy and process still vary locally. Here's how 483 cities compare. Each value is tagged CA state law or local rule.

What California law guarantees in every city

State ADU law sets a floor no city may go below. These apply in all 483 cities in the table, whatever the local ordinance says.

ADUs allowed: Yes — by right

ADUs and JADUs are allowed by right in all residential and mixed-use zones; ministerial approval, no hearing.

Cal. Gov. Code § 66317 (ministerial approval, 60-day deadline)

Units on a single-family lot: 1 ADU + 1 JADU

At least one ADU and one JADU per single-family lot (a conversion ADU may also be possible).

Cal. Gov. Code § 66323 (by-right ADU/JADU, 800 sq ft, 4-ft setbacks)

Guaranteed minimum size: 800 sq ft

An 800 sq ft ADU must be allowed regardless of FAR/lot-coverage caps, and a city may not set an ADU size limit below 850 sq ft (1,000 sq ft for two or more bedrooms) — for detached and attached units alike.

Cal. Gov. Code § 66321 (size minimums & height)

Side setback: 4 ft

A city cannot require more than 4 ft side or rear setback; conversions of existing structures are exempt.

Cal. Gov. Code § 66323 (by-right ADU/JADU, 800 sq ft, 4-ft setbacks)

Owner-occupancy: Only for a JADU

No owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs (the prior sunset was removed). A JADU may require owner-occupancy, principally where it shares sanitation with the main house.

Cal. Gov. Code § 66315 (owner-occupancy)

Approval timeline: 60 days

The agency must act within 60 days of a complete application — and the ADU is deemed approved if it does not.

Cal. Gov. Code § 66317 (ministerial approval, 60-day deadline)

Impact-fee waiver: Waived under 750 sq ft

An ADU of 750 sq ft or less pays no impact fees (the 750 sq ft threshold itself is exempt under § 66311.5); larger ADUs pay fees proportional to the primary dwelling. JADUs (≤ 500 sq ft) are exempt.

Cal. Gov. Code § 66311.5 (impact fees: none for an ADU ≤ 750 sq ft or JADU ≤ 500 sq ft)

What your city can still change

Everything below is a local decision within the limits state law allows — which is why the same project is legal in one city and not the next.

Max detached ADU size — state default: 1,200 sq ft

Statewide default cap for detached new-construction ADUs in the absence of a compliant local ADU ordinance. The unconditional by-right floor a city must always allow is 800 sq ft (see Guaranteed minimum size); a city with a compliant ordinance may set its own ceiling.

Max height — state default: 16 ft

16 ft baseline; cities must allow 18 ft within ½ mi of a major transit stop or where the primary dwelling is two-story, and 20 ft on a lot with a multistory multifamily building.

Parking required — state default: Up to 1 space

At most 1 space per ADU (or per bedroom, whichever is less) — and waived in the common cases below.

Units on a multifamily lot

Conversions of non-livable space (at least 1, or up to 25% of existing units) plus up to 8 detached ADUs on a lot with existing multifamily — never exceeding the number of existing units. JADUs are single-family only.

Front setback

Approval path — state default: Ministerial (by right)

No public hearing or discretionary design review for a qualifying ADU.

Common questions about California ADU rules

Can a California city ban ADUs?

ADUs and JADUs are allowed by right in all residential and mixed-use zones; ministerial approval, no hearing.

What is the smallest ADU a city must allow?

How big can a detached ADU be in California?

Can a city require me to live on the property?

No owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs (the prior sunset was removed). A JADU may require owner-occupancy, principally where it shares sanitation with the main house.

Does an ADU need parking?

At most 1 space per ADU (or per bedroom, whichever is less) — and waived in the common cases below.

How long does ADU approval take?

The agency must act within 60 days of a complete application — and the ADU is deemed approved if it does not.

Do I pay impact fees on an ADU?
