Local ADU Regulations in Campbell
Below is a general overview of ADU regulations in Campbell. If you need more details on how these rules apply to your property, reach out to us to speak with an ADU expert.
Where ADUs Are Allowed
ADUs are typically permitted on properties designated for residential use, though some exceptions may apply. Your property must include an existing or planned single-family home or a multi-family residential building, such as a duplex, triplex, or apartment complex. Contact us to determine whether your property qualifies for an ADU.
Minimum Lot Size
There are no minimum lot size requirements—any property can be eligible for an ADU regardless of its size.
Number of ADUs Permitted
Single-family properties are generally allowed to have one or two ADUs. Multi-family properties may be eligible for multiple ADUs, depending on the number of existing units and the type of ADU being built. Get in touch with us to find out how many ADUs your property can accommodate.
Parking Requirements
Conversion and junior ADUs generally do not require additional parking. However, attached and detached ADUs typically need at least one parking space unless the project qualifies for an exemption. Reach out to us for expert advice on ADU parking regulations.

ADU Builder Campbell FAQs
How long does it take to build a small second unit in Campbell?
The full process typically takes 8 to 12 months, including 1–2 months for design and planning, 2–4 months for permit approval, and 4–6 months for construction. Projects with unique layouts or lots may take longer due to additional reviews or upgrades.
What does it cost to build a backyard cottage in Campbell?
Construction costs generally fall between $450 and $475 per square foot. A 750 sq. ft. in-law suite may start around $340,000, while larger or more custom-built units can exceed $475,000. Be sure to budget for permits, utility adjustments, and landscaping.
Can the compact home share utilities with the main house?
Yes. Most small secondary units can connect to the existing water, sewer, and electrical systems. If the space will be rented out, you might consider installing separate meters. For older properties, electrical panel upgrades are sometimes required to meet capacity needs.
Are there incentives for building sustainably?
Yes. Homeowners in Campbell may be eligible for BayREN energy efficiency rebates, solar panel programs, and EV charger incentives. All new construction must meet California Title 24 energy standards, and homes under 750 sq. ft. are generally exempt from impact fees.
Why are homeowners adding in-law units or compact dwellings?
These smaller homes offer a flexible solution for housing family members, generating rental income, or creating a private office or guest space. They’re especially popular for those looking to stay in place while expanding their property’s function.
Is there strong local interest in secondary homes?
Yes. As housing costs rise and space becomes more valuable, many Campbell residents are building garage conversions, garden cottages, or standalone suites to meet the needs of multigenerational living or passive income.
What types of designs are trending in Campbell?
Popular layouts include modern bungalows, Craftsman-inspired studios, and converted garages with features like open floor plans, energy-efficient fixtures, large windows, and private entrances. Detached structures offer privacy, while conversions can be more budget-friendly.
Where can I find local information on planning and permits?
The City of Campbell’s Planning Division provides resources online, including zoning maps, permit guides, and design standards. You can also schedule a pre-application meeting to get help with lot-specific questions.
Will a small second home change the character of my neighborhood?
Not likely. Campbell has regulations for setbacks, height, and architectural style to ensure new units blend with existing homes. These compact additions support gentle housing growth without disrupting neighborhood appeal.
Do I need to provide additional parking?
Not always. If your new space is within ½ mile of public transit or part of a converted structure, no extra parking is required. In other cases, one off-street parking space may be needed based on city requirements.
