Can I Build?

Good news: New state laws make it even easier to build an ADU and a Junior ADU. Bear with us as we update the Address Look-Up Tool to reflect these exciting changes!

If you want to build an ADU that would add square footage to your property, use our lookup tool to see what you're eligible to build.

In most cases, if you live in a legally built single family home and meet fire codes, you can convert any existing structure into an ADU.

If the address lookup tool is not loading or rendering correctly, please click here.

If you are looking to build something new that adds square footage to your property, you’ll want to use our address lookup tool and talk to your city about what you’re eligible to build.

Complete the “Property Information Summary” and use the “Questions to Ask a City Planner” activities in our workbook to guide your meeting with the city.
