Permits & fees
Red tape in Chino, handled

Reviewed by the City of Chino Development Services / Planning Division
What California’s statewide ADU law means for your Chino property:
- California law requires cities to approve a complete ADU application ministerially (no public hearing) within 60 days.
- Detached ADUs up to 800 sq ft with 4-foot side and rear setbacks must be allowed by right, and most lots qualify for an ADU up to 1,200 sq ft.
- No additional off-street parking can be required when the property is within half a mile of public transit.
- Owner-occupancy cannot be required for ADUs permitted through the end of 2025, making an ADU a true rental-income option.
Every city fee — already in your price
No surprise municipal bills. We absorb every Chino permit and city fee into one fixed, all-in price.

Local know-how
Why homeowners build in Chino
Chino offers some of the most generous lots in our service area, including semi-rural parcels where a detached ADU has plenty of room to breathe. We have built here for families creating comfortable multigenerational space — room for a daughter, grandchildren, and future needs — on properties with the space to do it well.
The contrast across Chino is real: established large lots toward the agricultural preserve, and tighter newer subdivisions near The Preserve and Chino Hills. Each calls for a different approach, and we tailor placement, size, and foundation to the parcel. Larger lots can often support our bigger floor plans, giving you a genuinely independent second home.
From our Upland office, Chino is a short drive, so site visits and oversight stay easy.
