Real completed Vision ADU projects in Orange County
Newport Beach ADU scopes are often influenced by premium finish selections and coastal-zone parcels that can add review, engineering, and access considerations. Garage conversions and new detached units carry different structural and utility requirements, so the property must be evaluated before the budget can be defined.

Newport Beach ADU applications go through the city's Community Development Department and are reviewed ministerially under California state law — no neighborhood hearing, and the city must act on a complete application within 60 days. Parcels in the coastal zone may need a coastal development permit or exemption, which Vision ADU manages alongside the building permit. The city follows state standards, including detached ADUs up to 1,200 square feet, and under AB 670 an HOA cannot prohibit an ADU. Permit and impact fees vary by project, so we provide a written estimate before you commit (an estimate only, not a guarantee).
