Frequently Asked Questions about ADUs

  • An ADU is an Accessory Dwelling Unit or "mother-in-law" or "granny flat." It provides completely separate living space for one or more persons on the same parcel as the main dwelling unit. All of our plans above are pre-approved plans by the City of Chico.

  • The short answer is your backyard. The long answer requires a site evaluation and plan. But in basic terms, 5 feet from your property line, in your backyard or side yard.

  • We have a range of pre-approved ADU styles to choose from. Not sure which one is a good fit? No worries! Our team can help you decide which ADU plan will best fit your needs and goals.
