ADU planning for your Los Gatos property

Review available property information, identify what is still missing, and frame the local questions that must be confirmed before design, budgeting, permitting, or construction decisions.

Current, property-specific review controls the decision.

Online records can be incomplete or stale. Final setbacks, height, utilities, access, hazards, fees, schedule, and eligibility require current agency information and the appropriate licensed professionals.

Local authority and planning resources

Confirm the responsible planning and building authority for the parcel before relying on local requirements.

This is an informational guide, not an office-location listing or confirmation that ADU California accepts projects here. Contact the team to confirm availability. Parcel boundaries, hazards, utility capacity and site suitability remain unverified.

A useful first review

Separate what is available from what still needs verification.

  1. 01

    Confirm the property

    Start with a complete address and review the available parcel, building, and map context.

  2. 02

    Identify the unknowns

    Keep missing setbacks, easements, utilities, access, hazards, and local requirements visible.

  3. 03

    Choose the next review

    Use the preliminary result to prepare a focused conversation with the required professionals and agencies.

Explore project types

Compare the scope before choosing a solution.

These pages explain the questions each project type introduces. They do not assert that a particular scope is permitted or suitable for your address.

The next useful action

Put your address at the center of the conversation.

The online review is preliminary and is not a permit decision, survey, engineering opinion, construction document, final price, or guaranteed schedule.

Start with your property, then talk through the details.
