WHAT IS AN ADU?
ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. It’s a residential dwelling unit California lawmakers encourage you to build on your single family or multi-family properties. An ADU is complete with its own kitchen and bathroom and is designed to accommodate a separate family.
An additional Junior ADU (JADU) may be constructed if certain conditions are met. A single family home now may be turned into a 3 unit property.
