Common Questions

How long does permitting take in LA?

Standard ADU permits take 3–6 months. Pre-approved plans through the LADBS standard plan program can reduce this to 4–8 weeks.

Do I need an architect?

Yes — permitted ADUs require licensed architectural drawings. Our in-house team handles this as part of the full project.

What's included in the permit fee?

City fees vary by ADU size and type. We provide a full fee estimate during your free property review.
