 Size limitations vary by local jurisdiction, but state law allows ADUs up to 1,200 square feet for detached units and up to 50% of the primary dwelling's living area for attached units[1]. 

Do I need a permit to build an ADU? 
Yes, you need a permit to build an ADU. The permitting process can take 8-12 weeks and cost between $4,000 to $6,000 in fees[1].
 How much does it cost to build an ADU? 
Costs vary widely, but in many areas of California, ADUs can cost between $150,000 to $250,000 or more, depending on size and finishes[1].
Will building an ADU increase my property taxes? 
Building an ADU will likely increase your property taxes, but the increase is based on the value of the ADU structure only, not the land[1].
Can I rent out my ADU? 
Long-term rentals are permitted for ADUs in Garden Grove [1]. Short-term rentals (less than 30 days) are prohibited [1]. This means you can only rent out your ADU for periods of 30 days or longer.
