What You’ll Get
This self-guided Site Evaluation Checklist gives you a clear, practical way to understand whether an ADU may be possible on your property — before you spend money on plans or contractors.
You’ll walk through:
• Local zoning and ordinance questions to research
• Lot size, setbacks, and usable space considerations
• Existing water, sewer, and electrical service questions
• Access, site layout, and placement constraints
• Early budget considerations and common cost drivers
• Red flags that may require professional input
By the end, you’ll know what questions still need answers — and whether it makes sense to move forward, pause, or adjust your expectations
