Building an ADU in Anaheim

Anaheim is one of Orange County's busiest ADU markets, helped by a comparatively affordable entry point and constant rental demand near Disneyland and the Platinum Triangle. Neighborhoods range from the older bungalows of the Colony District to the larger hillside lots of Anaheim Hills, so both conversions and detached builds are common. The city has leaned into ADUs as part of its housing strategy. Vision ADU handles Anaheim projects end to end, from design through final inspection.

Anaheim ADU Permits

Anaheim reviews ADU applications ministerially under California state law, which means no neighborhood hearing is required and the city must approve or deny a complete application within 60 days. The city follows state standards, including detached ADUs up to 1,200 square feet and no added parking for units within a half mile of transit, and under AB 670 an HOA cannot prohibit an ADU. Vision ADU handles the full submittal, plan check, and inspections. Permit and impact fees vary by city and project, so we provide a written estimate before you commit (an estimate only, not a guarantee).
