Welcome to the Carlsbad ADU Initiative
Building Affordable Housing Together
Carlsbad is embracing California's new affordable housing laws with our innovative ADU Permit Ready Program. Designed for homeowners in our city, this initiative simplifies building accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on your property. Discover permit-ready plans, including floor plans and architectural designs, tailored to streamline approvals and minimize costs. Join us in expanding Carlsbad’s affordable housing options.
Steps to Your ADU:
- Start with the City Guide: Follow the detailed ADU Permit Ready processing guide for a step-by-step application process.
- Submit Your Forms: Complete essential documents like the ADU Building Permit Application Checklist, Hold Harmless Agreement, and more.
- Explore Custom Options: Not using the cities plans? No problem. We support personalized ADU projects as well.
Background on Carlsbad’s Housing Plan:
Responding to California’s housing shortage, Carlsbad's Housing Plan fosters affordable ADU construction with streamlined permits and preapproved designs. The goal is to make ADU projects time-efficient and cost-effective, backed by state grants and community support.
