Although cities and counties are mandated to permit ADUs and JADUs, they are not required to adopt ADU and JADU ordinances. The bottomline is, you must have a permit from the local government authorities for starting any ADU construction work on your property.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, also known as a granny flat or in-law suite, is a living unit that may be as small as 500 sq. ft. and up to 1200 sq. ft. in size. An ADU is an accessory living unit built on a single-family or multifamily residential building, wherever such developments are permitted.
A JADU which is permitted to approximately 500 sq. ft. in size can have a small food preparation area, including a sink or a wash basin, but it is NOT allowed to have a private washroom or a bathroom.
The city of Hayward ADU ordinance has allowed ADUs on most residentially zoned lots regardless of their size as long as the structure meets the basic restrictions and there is an existing home already on the property. Meaning, most homeowners have an opportunity to add an ADU on their existing property.
Yes, new state laws have allowed Hayward homeowners the ability to convert an old or unused garage into living space, and even rent it out if you’re the single owner of the property.
