Building an ADU in Irvine
Irvine's master-planned villages, top schools, and large employment base in tech and healthcare create steady, high-quality rental demand. Many homes sit in HOA communities, but state law (AB 670) keeps ADUs allowed even there, with reasonable design standards. Modern, efficient designs tend to fit Irvine's aesthetic best. Vision ADU helps owners navigate village guidelines while building a unit that complements the neighborhood.

Irvine ADU Permits
Irvine 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).
