Sacramento County: adu scope and jurisdiction

Sacramento County adu construction planning starts with the distinction between incorporated communities and unincorporated parcels. Within Sacramento County, part of the Sacramento Valley, city and unincorporated Sacramento County permits follow different review desks; confirm jurisdiction from the parcel rather than its mailing city. Confirm the address-specific ADU review path, utility capacity and any septic constraints before agreeing on the build scope.

For Sacramento County projects, check mapped flood constraints and drainage elevations before fixing a Sacramento Valley building pad; proximity to a river is not a parcel determination. Locate the proposed dwelling, private entry, usable outdoor space and utility route on one site plan.

Sacramento County: utilities, access and construction sequence
