Very informative... my property has an outdoor patio attached to my garage. It’s about 400 sq ft so considering to convert that area to an in-law suite. It’s a decent size. I’m in Los Angeles county.
Thank you for the great video. I live in San Leandro, CA. The city asks for over $10,000 impact fee for a unit under 700 square feet. You mentioned in the video that no impact fee for units under 750 sqft. Is this the regulation for the State of California or it is city by city requirement? Can you help? Thank you very much!
What about building for spaces that can be allocated to the main house and/or the ADU as needs change??? I realize that will likely be an entire video.
Thank you for all the good information. I got a question : in another video and in this video you mention “ senate bill 12 “ that we can save in “ Impact fees” if the ADU is less than 750 sq. ft. But in writing you showed 700 sq ft Which one is right ? And if my house is only 1,100 sq get can I build an ADU and a J ADU do I add the sq feet? And if I do an ADU can I convert my 200 sq ft garage into a JADU by adding to it 200 sq ft more to have a Jr ADU of 400 sq ft and the 750 sq ft ADU at the same time ? Thank you for your time.
In 2022 additional SB laws passed so additional options are available but local jurisdictions still have their own requirements to follow. You can have both ADU/JADU but further research in your local jurisdiction would need to be done in order to adequately know exact perimeters for your project. Contact us for a feasibility study to get you started on the right track.
You can convert an existing garage to an ADU. We have done it with detached or attached garages in different jurisdictions. Go to our bio to contact us if you are still interested or needing an architect.
The higher numbers are if you need to increase meter sizes, upgrade electrical panels, or utilities are coming from a long distance. Lower numbers are if your panels and meters are adequately sized and connection points are close.
We can't speak for everyone, but at Domum we offer payment plans depending on what fits best for your project and financial options. Usually they are monthly or they could be based on milestones of a project. Financing differs between firms, companies, and size of project.
The short answer is yes, but only on the marginal value of the ADU. Assessors throughout California treat ADU's like a home addition. The existing home will not be reassessed.
As an FYI, their needs and options review is no longer $200. It is $2,000 and this video is 2 years old. I wanted to purchase one of their plans online and I called to ask questions and they wanted to charge me $150 for questions about their $8500 plan.
We appreciate your comment. Our process and costs have changed a bit since we've made this video. That first step would be booking an expert consultation call to gain more information, learn where you are at in the process, and decide if our processes/firm are right for you and your project. We hope you find the right firm for your ADU project.
ADU law sucks!!!! I worked hard to buy a house to live in a R1 zone. Latinos moving in taking all the parking now it will be impossible to find parking. Los Angeles county is being ruined by this law. I grew up on a lot that had 3 homes per lot which was typical in my neighborhood, it sucked. No privacy, small or no yard, parking wars, and tension.
@@rosagaldamez6730 lol even then, BH is over crowded & most ppl have bigger egos than the size of their homes. So you'll be dealing with a whole different breed of humans! Lol just sell & move to Vegas, Utah, AZ or Colorado.

Thank you for the video! It is very informative. Just got a new subscriber 👍🏼
Thank you Francisco we appreciate your support!
thanks so much for this. who do you recommend for the architect / designer in the west los angeles area?
Very informative information. Thanks, Planing to built one at my property, Richmond.

Can you discuss how property tax will increase with the addition of an ADU
Yes!

Yes, this is a state law, they can't assess impact fees. They might be getting around the law by calling it something else, but we will look into it.

Can an ADU or Container be a stand alone home in California and if so where? Also do you have any plans for Container homes
Great question! We will be releasing a video soon to answer your question!
Fantastic!
Great info! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
how utilities determined if need to be stand alone and not part of your home. I live in sacramento county how does that affect me?
Great question! We will be releasing a video soon to answer your question!
Can you go in depth why utilities are 3k-50k? That's a big range
The higher numbers are if you need to increase meter sizes, upgrade electrical panels, or utilities are coming from a long distance. Lower numbers are if your panels and meters are adequately sized and connection points are close.
Can DIYers install the utilities themselves with inspection passes?
How will this effect property tax? Will my single family home be reassessed?
Depends on the area you build in
The city should be able to help you with that, there is an amount of Ft square that you can stay under so you won't have to pay school taxes, etc.
The additional value to the property is usually added to your tax bill. You can contact your county assessor for clarification on their policies.
Do companies usually offer payment plans?
We can't speak for everyone, but at Domum we offer payment plans depending on what fits best for your project and financial options. Usually they are monthly or they could be based on milestones of a project. Financing differs between firms, companies, and size of project.
Any services in southern California?
I need to know that, too... For LA
I am in San Jose , looking for a contractor that can give me those prices. if you know any please share

How are property taxes affected
The short answer is yes, but only on the marginal value of the ADU. Assessors throughout California treat ADU's like a home addition. The existing home will not be reassessed.
Domum cool and thanks for the quick response!
Printed housing is much cheaper at $4,000 per house.
