How long does it take to design and permit an ADU?
From our experience, ADU projects can move from initial design through zoning permit approval within 4 to 10 weeks. Timelines vary depending on project scope, design feedback, and revisions. Early planning, clear documentation, and proactive zoning coordination significantly reduce review comments and help avoid unnecessary delays.
