Building an ADU in Redlands
Redlands pairs a walkable historic downtown with tree-lined neighborhoods and steady demand from the University of Redlands and Esri, one of the region's largest employers. Many lots are deep enough for a detached unit, and older estates lend themselves to conversions and thoughtful additions. Design that respects the city's historic character tends to move through review more smoothly. Vision ADU builds throughout Redlands and matches each unit to the neighborhood.

Redlands ADU Permits
Redlands 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. Historic districts may involve design-sensitive plans, which we prepare accordingly. 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).
