Description

Press release from the City of Citrus Heights: June 18, 2021 Funded by a grant from the State Department of Housing and Community Development, the City's PRADU program provides free, pre-approved plans for accessory dwelling units, saving Citrus Heights residents an estimated $7,000. The plans can be viewed on the City's website: http://citrusheights.net/1108/Permit-Ready-ADU-Program. This new program eliminates the need to hire an architect, saves time on plan review, and saves money on fees.  In addition to providing PRADU plans for free, the City has also scheduled an education webinar on ADUs and published a Homeowner's Planning Guide.   1. ADUs in Citrus Heights: Small Home, Big Impact – Webinar on June 29 at 6 p.m. Join City staff and ADU experts for an educational webinar about building accessory dwelling units (ADU) in Citrus Heights.

Our experts will be available to answer questions and talk about the steps you need to take to build an ADU on your existing property. Click here to register!   2. Homeowner's Planning Guide The City's Planning Division has developed a guide specifically for Citrus Heights' residents interested in adding an ADU to their property.
