County of Monterey Offers Free, Pre-Approved Standard Plans for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

In an effort to streamline the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) building process, The County of

Monterey is excited to offer three (3) pre-designed ADU plans available to homeowners.

ADUs are a smaller, independent residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a standalone

single family home. ADUs present affordable additional housing for parents, grandparents, friends,

young people, or even long term rental income.

Our pre-designed ADU Standard Plans are free of charge and have been reviewed and stamped

‘Approved’ by the County of Monterey Building Division in compliance with the California Building

Code. This means that these plans have been determined to meet the California Building Code

requirements and use of the plans will not require structural engineering. It also means that use of these

plans will save time and money when applying for a building permit because they will have already

been reviewed and approved.

Please note these plans are:

• Only for new construction

• Not for converting garages

• Plans offer some modifications

Before using these plans, please contact Housing & Community Development. A building permit is still

required before construction and additional limitations may apply.
