Frequently Asked Questions

What is a detached ADU and how is it different from other ADUs?

A detached ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a standalone living space built in your backyard separate from your main home. Unlike attached ADUs or garage conversions, detached units offer privacy, rental income potential, and design freedom — all while complying with local setback and zoning rules.

Major cost factors include:

  • Size and layout (larger units cost more)
  • Site preparation and grading
  • Utility connections for water, sewer, gas, and electrical
  • Finish level (standard vs. high-end interiors)

Cities closer to the coast or with stricter building codes can also add 10–20% to total costs.

Yes — every detached ADU in Orange County requires the proper city and county permits before construction can begin. The permitting process can be complex, involving zoning approvals, plan checks, and inspections.

That’s where Kol & Co. comes in. We handle the entire permitting process for you: from preparing your plans to submitting applications, coordinating with city officials, and ensuring all approvals are in place. Our goal is to make the process smooth, stress-free, and fully compliant, so you can focus on your dream ADU while we take care of the paperwork.
