San Bernardino is the county seat and one of the largest, most affordable ADU markets in the Inland Empire. Established neighborhoods often have older detached garages and deep lots that suit both conversions and new detached units, and low land costs keep overall projects accessible. The city and county both review ADUs on state timelines. Vision ADU handles San Bernardino projects end to end, from design through final inspection.

San Bernardino 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).
