West Hollywood ADU Rules Worth Knowing
West Hollywood is its own city, separate from Los Angeles, with its own ADU Permit process under Chapter 19.43 of the Municipal Code. A good ADU builder West Hollywood owners hire should plan around these details:
- City of West Hollywood permits: Plans are reviewed by West Hollywood, not LADBS, so steps and fees are different from LA.
- Free pre-approved plan: The city offers a pre-approved detached ADU plan you can download at no cost, which can speed up review.
- Pre-approved plan limits: These plans are for new detached units only, and any changes mean a full plan review.
- Site-specific plan check: Even pre-approved plans still get checked for slope, power lines, setbacks and floor area.
- Lower fees for small units: State law waives impact fees for ADUs under 750 sq ft, which helps small WeHo units pencil out.
