Altadena ADU Permits
Altadena is an unincorporated community, so ADU permits are handled by Los Angeles County rather than a city building department. The County reviews ADUs ministerially under state law, following standard size limits and reduced parking near transit, and under AB 670 an HOA cannot prohibit an ADU. Vision ADU prepares and submits the plans and manages County corrections and inspections. Permit and impact fees vary by project, so we give you a written estimate before you commit (an estimate only, not a guarantee).
