PermiGuide provides instant clarity.
Our tool tells you if a permit is likely required for your project — based on your location and project type. And if a permit is needed, we guide you on how to get started (or connect you to someone who can). It’s your shortcut to doing things the right way, the first time.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a smaller, independent residential unit on the same lot as a primary home — often called a guest house, backyard cottage, or in-law suite.

PermiGuide makes it easy.
Enter your address and learn if an ADU is likely allowed — and if so, we tell you what kind (detached, attached, garage conversion, etc.) and what to consider before starting. No guessing, no jargon.
