What Is An A.D.U.?

To be brief and get to the point, An Additional dwelling unit (A.D.U.) and a Junior additional dwelling unit (J.A.DU.) are practical options for adding extra housing – as per the state of California. An A.D.U. is detached, while a J.A.D.U. is attached to the existing structure. Both are good options for additional housing. The State of California works with local planning departments to set specific guides.

The basic process starts with an initial review of the property to verify legal lot status and zoning. Once that checks out in your favor, an application to the County of Ventura Building and Safety Division will need to be submitted along with verification and will serve letters. Of course, the process can take patience and time but don’t feel daunted.

Casitas Builders can help you maneuver through all the agencies involved and manage your ADU or JADU from start to finish.
