Questions

ADU Construction FAQs

How much does an ADU cost in San Diego in 2026?+

A 600 sqft detached ADU typically runs $260,000–$380,000 in San Diego County. Garage conversions are the most affordable at $100,000–$200,000.

How long does it take to build an ADU in San Diego?+

From first consultation to Certificate of Occupancy, expect 9–14 months for a standard detached ADU. Garage conversions typically take 5–8 months.

What is the pre-approved ADU plan program?+

San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Del Mar, and San Marcos maintain libraries of pre-engineered ADU designs. Using one saves 50% on plan check fees and guarantees 30-day permit approval.

Can I rent out my ADU in San Diego?+

Yes. AB 976 permanently eliminated owner-occupancy requirements for standard ADUs.
