Fees and budget checks
The County identifies Cameron Park CSD in Zone B fee examples and publishes a separate Zone B mobile-home ADU estimate. These are scope-specific examples; request current building, planning, district and school assessments for the proposed design.

The County’s main fee page labels its Cameron Park CSD example separately from the EDH CSD example. Its typical-house illustration should not be reused as an ADU quote.

- Can a manufactured ADU use a site-built fee worksheet?
- Ask the County for the correct construction-type assessment; it publishes distinct examples.
- Does the County’s typical-house example price my backyard unit?
- No. The main example assumes a much larger primary house, garage and deck. Request an ADU-specific calculation.
