Registering an Accessory Dwelling Unit

ADU Accessory Dwelling Units are homes equipped with services such as a full bathroom and kitchen intended for the main family to reside. These houses can be built in the spaces of your residential unit or in the areas destined for agricultural activities on your property.

The Accessory Dwelling Units have the particularity of being rented, representing an alternative family income source. To carry out the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit, it is important that you know that it is only possible in spaces adjacent to the main residence and that this must be a legally established structure.

Do I need to register an Accessory Dwelling Unit?

It often happens that the people who sold the land plot did not make any Accessory Dwelling Units. But the new owners of the Accessory Dwelling Unit:

-         They rebuilt and made habitable a barn that had ceased to be of practical use.

-         In the summer kitchen, a heating system was built for the year-round operation of her room.

-         They erected a large cottage near the garden house, which was originally located on the site.

-         Equipped with a comfortable living space in a separately delivered garage structure.

In each of these cases, the resulting building has lost the status of a garage, barn, or summer kitchen. As lawyers would say, another residential building with small dimensions appeared in the country house. If it is planned to use throughout the year, there will be problems registering a new design with state authorities and regulatory services per the standards in force in the state. A light object that will not collapse during movement is allowed not to be registered. But in any case, it is necessary to comply with the regulations for the location of all structures on the land.

To request the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit, it is pertinent to contact the Los Angeles ADU Contractor and seek advice to receive information about the requirements to be met.
