Sacramento ADU Builders – Build an Accessory Dwelling Unit With ADORE Homes

Sacramento is one of the most ADU-friendly cities in California. With free permit-ready ADU plans and a strong pro-housing stance, the City of Sacramento is making it easier than ever to build a backyard home.

As a designated Prohousing City by the state, Sacramento actively supports the development of accessory dwelling units to increase housing supply. For homeowners looking to add space, generate income, or support family, the conditions in Sacramento are ideal.

## Sacramento ADU Regulations and Incentives

Sacramento follows state law but also offers local programs to simplify and speed up the ADU process. The City provides permit-ready plans that reduce both design costs and review time. These pre-approved models can be adapted to many standard lots.

Sacramento's ADU Resource Center also helps homeowners navigate the process by offering detailed guides and checklists.

Under Sacramento's ADU regulations, most residential lots can have one ADU and one JADU if a primary home exists or is planned. Detached ADUs can total up to 1,200 square feet per lot. Attached ADUs can be up to 50% of the main home's size, or up to 1,000 square feet for two-bedroom units. Rear and side setbacks are as small as 3 feet, depending on the ADU's distance from the front property line. ADUs must follow the standard front yard setback for the zoning district.

## Benefits of ADUs in Sacramento

Adding an accessory dwelling unit in Sacramento can help solve real needs. From aging parents to grown kids moving home, ADUs offer a flexible solution. At the same time, rental income from an ADU can help offset mortgage costs or fund retirement.

In Sacramento's growing housing market, ADUs offer key advantages: multigenerational living to keep family close while providing independence, rental income to supplement your earnings in a city with strong rental demand, increased home value with added living space, and the ability to contribute to Sacramento's need for more housing options.
