Want to build an accessory dwelling unit? New Sacramento city website makes it easier
Sacramento’s Department of Community Response preparing to do some outreach to tent encampments.
Sacramento (Sept. 27, 2022) The City of Sacramento has launched a new website to make it easier for property owners to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), also known as granny flats or in-law units.
The new “ADU Resource Center” provides property owners with information and step-by-step guides to aid the ADU permitting and construction process.
“This is just one example of where the City of Sacramento is innovating and leading when it comes to housing,” said Mayor Darrell Steinberg. “We saw a 123% increase in the construction of ADUs in 2021 and now with this site and the additional improvements to the process I hope to see that number grow even more.”
The ADU Resource Center provides a one-stop-shop to understanding the process, action items, permits, costs, financing options and more of building an ADU.
