Process

How ADU Pass works

Five clear steps from entering your address to holding a ready-to-submit permit packet.

01

Check your lot

Enter your address. See whether an ADU is allowed, how big it can be, and what the rules are — in seconds, free.

02

Choose your tier

Pick Standard ($400) for permit paperwork alone, or Plus ($800) to add a human expert audit of the completed packet.

03

Share your project

Upload your site plan, any existing drawings, lot survey, and answer a short questionnaire about your build.

04

We fill the forms

Our team completes every form your city requires, writes the narrative descriptions, and (for Plus) a human expert audits the packet. 5 business days Standard, 3 business days Plus.

05

You review and submit

You receive a ready-to-submit permit packet, review it, and file it with your city. We don't act as your legal agent; you stay in control of your own submission.

What’s included

  • Every form your city requires
  • Narrative descriptions and project summaries
  • One revision round
  • Human expert audit (Plus tier)
  • PDF and editable source files
  • 100% refund if the permit is rejected for paperwork reasons

What’s not included

  • Structural engineering calculations
  • Submission to the city (you file the packet yourself)
  • Post-submission plan check responses
  • Payment of permit fees to the city
