    Expert Knowledge

    ADU & Garage Conversion FAQs

    Do I need a permit for a garage conversion in San Fernando?

    Yes. To legally convert a garage into a living space in San Fernando, you must obtain building permits. This ensures the structure meets California’s health and safety codes.

    What is the maximum size for an ADU in the San Fernando Valley?

    For detached ADUs, you can build up to 1,200 square feet. For attached units, the limit is 1,200 square feet or 50% of the primary dwelling's size, whichever is smaller.

    How much does a garage conversion cost in 2026?

    In 2026, a standard 400-500 sq. ft. garage conversion in Los Angeles typically costs between $100,000 and $150,000, including permits, labor, and finishes.

    How long does the ADU construction process take?

    A typical garage conversion takes 3 to 5 months. This includes roughly 4-8 weeks for permit approval and 2-4 months for actual construction.

    Is additional parking required for an ADU?

    No parking is required if your property is within a half-mile of public transit. In most San Fernando Valley neighborhoods, you can convert your garage without adding new parking.

    Can I legalize an unpermitted garage conversion?

    Yes. Under California's AB 2533, homeowners can legalize unpermitted units built before 2020 by meeting basic health and safety standards rather than strict new building codes.

    Will an ADU increase my property taxes?

    Only the value of the new construction is taxed. Your main house is not reassessed, so your base property tax rate remains the same.

    Are solar panels required for garage conversions?

    Generally, no. Solar panels are required for newly built detached ADUs, but most garage conversions utilize the existing footprint and are exempt.

    Can I rent my ADU out on Airbnb?

    Most cities in the San Fernando Valley restrict ADUs to long-term rentals (30+ days). Short-term rentals like Airbnb are typically prohibited for ADUs.

    How do I start my detached ADU construction project?

    To begin, consult with a licensed ADU contractor. Our design-build ADU firm will evaluate your lot, create custom plans, and handle the entire San Fernando permitting process for you.
