Question 1

What is included in the $7,999 ADU Permit Set?

Accepted Answer

The $7,999 ADU Permit Set includes a complete permit-ready drawing package for a 749 sq ft detached ADU: title sheet, site plan, floor plan, exterior elevations (all 4 sides), building sections, wall details, structural set with foundation and framing plans and engineer-stamped calculations, MEP layout, electrical load calculation, Title 24 CF1R energy compliance report, and online permit submission to your city. No city office visit required.

Question 2

Is the $7,999 ADU Permit Set a flat fee with no hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — $7,999 is a flat fee covering all design, structural engineering, Title 24 CF1R, and permit submission for a 749 sq ft detached ADU. City permit fees are paid directly to your city and are separate. Plan check correction responses are included at no additional charge until permit approval.

Question 3

Does zHeight build the ADU after the permit is approved?

Accepted Answer

No — zHeight is an architecture and permit services firm, not a builder. We produce the permit drawings and coordinate permit approval. Once the city issues your building permit, you hire a separate CSLB-licensed California General Contractor to construct the ADU.

Question 4

How long does it take to get ADU permit drawings?

Accepted Answer

zHeight delivers the completed ADU permit set in approximately 2–4 weeks from project kickoff. City plan check review adds 4–12 weeks depending on jurisdiction. San Jose targets 10 business days for over-the-counter ADU review.

Question 5

Is the 749 sq ft ADU exempt from California impact fees?

Accepted Answer

No — the 749 sq ft ADU exceeds the 750 sq ft impact fee exemption threshold by only 1 sq ft. ADUs under 750 sq ft are exempt from city development impact fees statewide under Gov. Code §66324. zHeight also offers a custom design option for ADUs sized at or under 749 sq ft to maximize this exemption where impact fees are significant.

Question 6

What is a permit-ready ADU plan set?

Accepted Answer

A permit-ready plan set is a complete set of construction drawings and supporting documents that meets all requirements for building permit submission to a California city. It includes architectural drawings (site plan, floor plan, elevations, sections), structural engineering (foundation and framing plans with calculations), and Title 24 CF1R energy compliance. zHeight's ADU Permit Set is permit-ready and submitted online to your city.
