Citrus Heights pre-approved ADU plans. We build them.
Citrus Heights is home base for House on the Hill. The City offers free, pre-approved Permit-Ready ADU plans: two one-bedroom, one-bath models and a two-bedroom, one-bath model, each with roof and exterior options and a reversed layout.
Starting prices are for the building itself on a straightforward lot. Every lot is different, so we confirm the real number in a written, line-by-line budget after we walk your property.
