LA City and LA County both cover large geographic and demographic regions, which may seem intimidating for the average homeowner trying to build and ADU in their backyards. However, in our experience both LA City and LA County Planning Departments have been incredibly responsive and helpful when navigating the uncertain seems of planning and permitting. LA City has even created a dedicated resource called LA ADU Accelerator Program, a growing educational platform for homeowners and builders looking for common resources to assist in the creation of these innovative housing units.
