Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is an exciting investment—and understanding your county’s specific rules and requirements is an important first step. Each county has unique guidelines covering ADU size limits, zoning, setbacks, and permits.
To help you get started, we’ve compiled direct links to official ADU resources for Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Merced Counties. These pages are updated by county planning departments and provide reliable, up-to-date information about what’s possible on your property.



In most cases, yes. Cities in the 209 area—such as Modesto, Turlock, Stockton, and Manteca—have adopted California’s statewide ADU laws, which allow most single-family and multi-family homeowners to build at least one ADU. However, lot size, zoning, setbacks, and utility access will determine your specific eligibility. A local ADU builder can assess your property and confirm what’s possible.
Yes. All ADU projects require city permits for design approval, construction, and utility connections. The good news is that many 209-area cities, including Modesto, Stockton, and Turlock, have streamlined ADU permitting to make it easier and faster for homeowners. Your contractor should handle this for you.
Yes! Under California law, ADUs can be rented out for 30 days or longer, which makes them great for long-term rentals or family housing. However, short-term rentals (like Airbnb) may be restricted depending on your city’s local ordinances—so always check your city’s ADU rental policy.
Homeowners in the 209 area have several options:
Your property layout and zoning will determine which is best for you.
The first step is to schedule a property evaluation and design consultation with a trusted local ADU contractor. They’ll help you determine what’s allowed on your lot, provide a detailed estimate, and guide you through design, permitting, and construction.
We start with a personal meeting at your home to discuss your project goals and ideas. From there, we’ll put together a detailed estimate with a clear timeline and cost breakdown, so you know exactly what to expect.
