Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in Temecula are additional homes built on existing single or multifamily residential properties. They’re also known as backyard homes, guest houses, casitas, mother-in-law units, and granny flats. There are many different types of ADUs, including both separate structures located in a back or side yard (detached) and conversions of existing spaces such as basements, attics, and garages (attached). USModular specializes in Detached Temecula ADUs.
An ADU can be a single-family or multifamily residential building, wherever such developments are permitted. Temecula building code requires them to provide permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking facilities, and sanitation, and meet other requirements as stipulated by applicable life and safety code requirements from the Department of Public Works, City of Temecula Building and Safety Division and Fire Departments. Please get in touch with those Departments for their process and fees.
Are ADUs allowed in my neighborhood in Temecula, CA?
In 2020 and 2021, new Temecula ADU laws were passed, making it easier for Californians to build ADUs. Major changes to the city of Temecula zoning regulations, permit requirements, and developmental standards went into effect, making it easier and faster and cheaper to build an ADU on your property.
Can I build an ADU in Temecula? How many can I build?
According to Temecula ADU rules, you can build one detached ADU and one junior ADU (a unit no more than 500 square feet located within the home) on most single-family residential lots. If you live on a multifamily lot you may be able to build two detached ADUs.
How do you build your ADUs in Temecula, CA?
We are prefabricated construction specialists. Our ADUs are built in a factory to ANSI – American National Building code (Tiny Homes), Federal/HUD building code (Manufactured Home) or CBC/Local Building code. We choose to build prefabricated construction as we have more control over the timeline and quality of construction. Also, prefabricated construction is less disruptive to residents of homes and neighborhoods as our time on site is minimal.
Do I have to build a parking space for an ADU in Temecula?
According to new state laws, an additional parking spot is not needed if the ADU is located within a half mile of a public bus stop or rail station, is on a street that requires on-street parking permits but the permit has not been offered to the occupant of the ADU; or is located within one block of a public car-share program. If you do not meet this requirement – we will need to show a space on your lot for a ADU parking and this can be on existing driveway as a tandem space.
Are there any hidden or surprise costs?
We offer all-inclusive pricing for standard sites. If your lot has special circumstances (hillside, sewer pumps, septic, crane etc) we determine any additional fees charges for extra site work, upgrades, etc. with you upfront so you know your full cost to build an ADU.
How will an ADU affect the sale price of my house?
An ADU can increase property value and therefore can boost the price of the primary home when it’s time to sell. However, many factors go into home prices, and every case is unique.
Can I Customize My Temecula ADU Floor Plan?
The Silver and Gold floor plans have limited options to change floor plans but interior units do have some flexibility and upgrades available. ModPro series is a custom plan and we can make changes to these plans and /or create a custom floor plan.
How do I know if an ADU can fit on my property in Temecula?

How does an ADU access sewer, water and electricity lines?

Can I Build My ADU on a Hillside in Temecula?
Cities often have special building regulations for hillside construction. The feasibility of hillside construction must be determined on a case-by-case basis and according to the City of Temecula building code.
Does it make sense for me to build an ADU on my property?
That is a question only you can answer but we can provide a few reasons why it might:
- You need extra space for aging parents or kids and it’s expensive for them to live in an apartment
- You want extra income and have unused space on your property.
- As an example – in many areas of Southern California, a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment is $2500-$3000 per month. If you finance a $200,000 ADU with a home refinance and use the equity of your home – typical payments on this loan is $900-$1000 / month . Economically it seems to make sense as it can save family members on rent or help you earn $ every month. We have a large range of ADU floor plans at competitive prices that comply with Temecula ADU zoning requirements!
