This is from California which is, uh, not known for a light regulatory touch in things like permits or zoning.


In Santa Cruz it is illegal to insulate your garage, lest it become housing.


CA has been lightening up about ADUs, it's typically not hard to put one in. There were a few legal changes in 2020, allowing larger sizes, less planning oversight, less parking requirements, utility hookups can be shared with the primary building.

The permits are pretty easy to get.


I live in SF bay area and I can build a accessory structure of 150SF or smaller without a permit.
