What is an attached ADU?
-
How long does it take to build an attached ADU?Depending on the scope, design approval, and permits, project typically takes 4–6 months from start to finish.
-
Can I rent out my attached ADU in Los Angeles?Yes! As long as it meets code and safety requirements, attached ADUs can be rented long-term. Short-term rentals may have restrictions depending on your zone.
-
Will an attached ADU increase my property taxes?Yes, but only the value of the ADU is reassessed — not your entire property. The tax increase is generally minimal compared to the value added.
