Los Angeles ADU garage conversion costs, permits and 2026 fast track rules
In Los Angeles, a typical ADU garage conversion in 2026 costs about $190k–$260k, with detached new ADUs often $230k–$350k. Updated ADU laws and pre-approved plans aim for roughly 30–60 day approvals, especially under AB 1332 and LA County’s August 2025 ordinance, making backyard units faster and more predictable for homeowners.
