Building an ADU in Burbank

Burbank's economy is anchored by the studios -- Disney, Warner Bros., and NBC -- which keeps a steady pool of renters who value living close to work. The city's family neighborhoods and good schools support long-term tenants, while many lots have older garages ready for conversion. Burbank's building department is straightforward to work with on ADUs. Vision ADU designs units that fit the city's residential streets and your budget.

Burbank ADU Permits

Burbank 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).
