Sacramento County now has a selection of detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans available for use by residents who live in the unincorporated part of the County, free of charge!
These ADU plans meet all of the 2022 Residential Building Code requirements and come pre-approved by the Building Permits and Inspection Division of the Department of Community Development, meaning a faster permit process and significant savings for the interested ADU owner.
The “Shelf Ready” ADU plans offered through the program include two 460-square foot studio/one bedroom units, an 870-square foot two-bedroom unit, a 1,000 square-foot two-bedroom unit, and a 1,184 square-foot three-bedroom unit.
“We are excited to offer these shelf ready ADU plans to help streamline the approval process, enabling faster and more cost-effective construction for our residents,” said Troy Givans, Community Development Director. “This efficiency helps save residents money and supports the growth of vibrant, well-planned communities.“
Applicants will need to submit a site plan to show where on the property the ADU will be placed. Modifications to the pre-approved plans are not allowed.
These plans were made possible thanks to a grant awarded to the County by the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
