What do I do first?

The best place to start is with thinking about what you want, understanding your goals and concerns, and looking at other ADUs for inspiration. Once you have some ideas in mind, you can consider your budget and move on to Learning the Rules to figure out what you can build on your property.

You can also use our Process-At-A-Glance resource for an overview of the steps and some initial issues to consider as you get started.
