Design is done
The floor plan and structure are already drawn and checked by the jurisdiction.
Cities and counties around Sacramento now offer pre-approved or pre-reviewed ADU plans, and several are free. They save you design time and speed up plan review, but every one still needs a site plan, utility and solar work, and a builder. Pick your area to see its plans and our starting prices.
