What is a junior ADU?

Up to 500 square feet within the walls of a single-family home or its attached garage, with an efficiency kitchen and a separate exterior entrance. One per lot.

Why choose one?

Speed and cost. A JADU reuses the house, so the work is mostly interior.

What are the limits?

No short-term rentals: terms must be longer than 30 days. Owner occupancy can be required when the JADU shares sanitation with the main house.

Junior ADUs in Oakland

A junior ADU stays within the house. Like other ADUs in Oakland, it cannot be rented for stays shorter than 30 days.
