ELIGIBILITY CHECK · SAN DIEGO COUNTY

Can I build an ADU?

Eight questions, about two minutes. You will get a plain-language result — likely, maybe, or talk-to-the-city — based only on your answers. It is general information, not a determination about your property: no website can make that call, and we will not pretend one can.

1. Which city is the property in?

2. Do you own the property?

3. What best describes the property?

4. What would you like to build?

5. Is there usable backyard or side-yard space for a detached unit?

6. Is the property in an HOA?

7. Does the property use a septic system?

8. Any of these: a steep slope, a fire hazard zone, the coastal zone, or existing unpermitted work on the property?

Whatever the result, the real answer comes from a feasibility conversation with a licensed builder who can look at your actual lot, your city's current rules, and your utilities — and that conversation is exactly what a match request starts.
