Start Your Palisades ADU With a Consultation Request
Every ADU project with us starts at this form. Share a few specifics about the property and what you have in mind, so the first conversation can get straight to your lot.
Fill out the form with a few details about your lot and plans. A reply comes by phone or email inside of 24 hours.
Details to Include in a Palisades ADU Consultation Request
Start with the property address or the nearest cross streets, so we can look up zoning, hillside and coastal overlays before we talk. Tell us whether the house is standing or whether the lot is being rebuilt after the 2025 fire, since that changes which City rules apply.
Then describe the lot in your own words: flat or sloped, near a canyon or bluff edge, any garage or outbuilding, and whether an HOA governs the property. Add what you want the ADU to do, such as house a parent, earn rent or give the family a place to stay during a rebuild. If you already have plans, a survey or photos, mention it, and we will ask for them when we follow up.
- Address or nearest cross streets
- Standing house or fire rebuild
- Slope, bluff or canyon edge, and any HOA
- How you plan to use the ADU
After You Send the Form: Next Steps for Your Palisades ADU
Within 24 hours of receiving your request, we reach out by phone or email to set up a conversation. Before that call, we review public information on the parcel, including its zoning and overlays, so we can speak to your lot rather than ADUs in general.
During the conversation we talk through which ADU types fit, what the main cost drivers are likely to be, and what the permit path looks like with LADBS, or with Los Angeles County for Sunset Mesa. If it makes sense to keep going, the next step is a site visit and a feasibility review.
FAQs
Consultation FAQ for Palisades ADU Owners
When does someone get back to me about my ADU?
Within 24 hours of submitting the form, by phone or email.
Do I need plans or a survey before I reach out?
No. A written description of the property is enough to start. If plans, a survey or photos exist, we will request them once we are in touch.
Can you help if my house burned in the 2025 fire?
Yes. Rebuild lots make up a large share of ADU planning in the Palisades right now, and the City lets the ADU go up before or alongside the new house.
