Guide to Current California ADU Regulations Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, have shifted from being a clever workaround to a central piece of California’s housing strategy. Garage conversions, basement studios, and backyard cottages are now a common sight across the state—tangible responses to an ever-growing housing shortage. Walk through almost any neighborhood, and chances are you’ll spot one. But the rules around ADUs continue to evolve. Some laws affect who can live on the property, others push cities to provide pre-approved designs, and in certain cases, ADUs can even be sold independently.
