California ADU Permits and Completions by City (2018–2025)

By Kaden Coziar, editor, The Dwelling Index · Updated September 2026

California cities and counties reported permits for 32,363 accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in 2025 and reported 22,699 finished. In 62 of 293 places with at least 50 homes permitted, ADUs were more than half under both counting methods, according to The Dwelling Index's analysis of state housing data (September 2026).

Statewide, ADUs were more than 1 in 4 homes permitted in 2025. Below: California ADU permits by city for every city and county area represented in the state's file, back to 2018, plus city completions for 2024–2025 and statewide completions for 2018–2025 — and why a quick sum of the 2025 file comes out 9,488 ADUs higher than what was permitted in 2025.

An ADU is a small extra home on the same lot as a house or apartment building: a backyard cottage, a converted garage, or a separate unit built into the home (HCD ADU Handbook).

Key California ADU permit statistics

California cities and counties issued permits for 32,363 ADUs in 2025, up 4.1% from 31,081 in 2024 (HCD Annual Progress Report data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
ADUs were 26.2% of all homes permitted in California in 2025 — 32,363 of 123,726, or more than 1 in 4 (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
In 62 of the 293 California cities and counties that permitted at least 50 homes in 2025, ADUs were more than half of the permitted units under both counting methods (The Dwelling Index analysis of HCD data, Sept. 2026).
California cities and counties reported 22,699 ADUs finished in 2025, up 9.4% from 20,740 in 2024 — 20.2% of the 112,286 homes finished that year (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
The City of Los Angeles issued permits for 7,451 ADUs in 2025, 23% of California's total; the 10 cities with the most issued 12,948, or 40% (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
ADUs went from 7.8% of homes permitted in California in 2018 (8,912 of 114,664) to 26.2% in 2025, and yearly ADU permits were 3.6 times as high (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
From 2018 through 2025, California cities and counties permitted 172,376 ADUs and reported 102,260 finished (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
California's ADU permits grew 4.1% in 2025, the smallest yearly gain since 2020 (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
From 2022 to 2025, California ADU permits rose 27.0% (25,492 to 32,363) while permits for all other homes fell 21.7% (116,648 to 91,363) (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
In Inglewood, 147 of the 149 homes permitted in 2025 were ADUs (98.7%); in Irvine, 8 of 1,409 were (0.6%) (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
San Francisco issued permits for 171 ADUs in 2025, down 65% from 483 in 2019 (HCD data; The Dwelling Index analysis, Sept. 2026).
Adding up the ADU permit column in the state's 2025 file gives 41,851 — 9,488 more than were permitted in 2025, because some reports also list permits dated in other years or with no issue date (The Dwelling Index analysis of HCD data, Sept. 2026).

Date-matched permits, completions and trends count values whose stage date matches the report year. The as-filed method includes any issue year or undated unit listed in the 2025 report. Completion counts are not divided by permit counts. No visitor search or filter choice is stored.

The City of Los Angeles issued permits for 7,451 ADUs in 2025, the most in California. San Diego was second with 2,165, and the unincorporated part of Los Angeles County was third with 1,361. The 10 cities with the most ADU permits issued 12,948 of the state's 32,363, or 40%.

Los Angeles is in a class by itself. Its 7,451 ADU permits are more than the next five cities put together: San Diego, Long Beach, San José, Santa Maria and Garden Grove add up to 4,224.

Source: The Dwelling Index analysis of California HCD Annual Progress Report data, Table A2, file updated Sept. 25, 2026, checked Sept. 29, 2026. Counts include only permits or completions whose stage date matches the report year.

Three cities in the top 25 get two shares. Glendale, Anaheim and Oxnard also listed permits dated in other years in their 2025 reports. Count everything they filed, and ADUs fall to 44.2%, 31.3% and 34.5% of all permitted units listed in their 2025 reports. The full table has both numbers for every place.

San Diego reported 229 finished ADUs in 2025 against 2,165 permits. The state file doesn't say why its finished count is so low, so read it as reported. If you're building there, here's how San Diego's ADU permit process works.

Ten cities issued 40% of California's ADU permits in 2025

Los Angeles alone issued 7,451 of the state's 32,363 (23%). The ten cities together: 12,948.

How many ADUs did California permit and finish each year?

California issued permits for 32,363 ADUs in 2025, up from 8,912 in 2018 — 3.6 times as many. Cities and counties reported 22,699 ADUs finished in 2025, up from 3,171 in 2018. Over the same years, ADUs went from 7.8% of all homes permitted to 26.2%.

What counts as an ADU permit here?

One ADU permit in these numbers means one housing unit that got a building permit, counted only when the permit date falls in that same report year. One permit document can cover more than one unit, so these are counts of homes, not paperwork.

The state's form counts a unit as an ADU if it is attached to a house, detached, or built inside the living area, and has its own place to live, sleep, eat, cook and use the bathroom. That includes small efficiency units and manufactured homes used as ADUs (HCD reporting instructions).

What counts as a finished ADU?

A finished ADU is one where the city or county issued a certificate of occupancy, or other proof it's ready to live in, such as a final inspection or a notice of completion, during that year (HCD reporting instructions). Think of the permit as the "go" sign and the finish as the "move in" sign.

What share of California homes permitted and finished are ADUs?

ADUs were 26.2% of the 123,726 homes permitted in California in 2025 (32,363 units) and 20.2% of the 112,286 homes finished (22,699 units). In 62 of the 293 cities and counties that permitted at least 50 homes, ADUs were more than half of permitted units under both counting methods.

Picture 100 homes that got permits in California last year. About 26 of them were ADUs.

Where were ADUs most of the homes permitted?

These are the 62 places. Each one permitted at least 50 homes in 2025, and ADUs were more than half of them whether you match permit dates to the 2025 report year or count everything the place listed in that report. Places that pass only one of those tests are left off.

In Inglewood, 147 of 149 homes permitted in 2025 were ADUs. In Hillsborough, 56 of 58.

Why did the ADU share jump?

Two things happened at once. From 2022 to 2025, ADU permits rose 27.0%, from 25,492 to 32,363. Permits for every other kind of home fell 21.7%, from 116,648 to 91,363. ADUs grew, and the rest of the pie shrank.

Are more ADUs getting finished?

Yes. Cities and counties reported 22,699 ADUs finished in 2025, up 9.4% from 20,740 in 2024 and about seven times the 3,171 reported in 2018. From 2018 through 2025, they reported 102,260 ADUs finished and 172,376 permitted.

Don't divide these two numbers to get a "finish rate." An ADU permitted in 2023 might be finished in 2025. Long Beach shows why: it reported 644 ADU permits and 649 finished ADUs in 2025. More finished than permitted: a home finished in 2025 may have received its permit in an earlier year. These totals do not match individual homes.

A few places report far fewer finished ADUs than permits across many years. Across their available 2018–2025 report years, Huntington Beach listed 513 ADU permits and no finished ADUs, Saratoga 467 and 4, Compton 170 and 11, and Huntington Park 115 and 6. The state file can't tell us whether those homes were finished and not reported, or aren't finished yet. We flag these rows in the data. The four-place check includes the counts, source and exact query.

Is California's ADU boom slowing down?

ADU permits grew 4.1% in 2025, the smallest yearly gain since 2020. Growth was 61.4% in 2021, 23.6% in 2022, 11.5% in 2023 and 9.3% in 2024. The 2025 total, 32,363, is still the highest in this data, which starts in 2018.

A county area adds up available city and unincorporated-area records with 2025 Table A2 rows (for example, 80 of the 87 Los Angeles County jurisdiction/county groups represented in the historical file). These coverage counts describe the file, not a complete list of legal jurisdictions. San Francisco is counted once as a city and county. Shares are rounded to one decimal; a small nonzero share can round to 0.0%. Source: The Dwelling Index analysis of California HCD Annual Progress Report data, Table A2, checked Sept. 29, 2026.

Does "Los Angeles County" include the City of Los Angeles?

It depends on which row you're reading. The county government's own row covers only the unincorporated area. The county-area total adds in cities with 2025 rows.

Three ways to count "Los Angeles" ADUs, 2025

Does "Los Angeles County" include the City of Los Angeles?
Geography	ADU permits 2025	ADUs finished 2025
City of Los Angeles	7,451	5,883

Never add the county-area total to its city rows. The cities are already inside it.

Why does adding up the state's file give a bigger number?

Add up the ADU building-permit column in the state's 2025 file and you get 41,851. But 9,488 of those units have a permit date outside 2025 (9,472) or no date at all (16). Counting only ADUs permitted in 2025 gives 32,363.

Here's why that happens. The state's reporting instructions tell cities that activity from prior years "may be included but is not required" (HCD reporting instructions). So some 2025 reports also list ADUs permitted in earlier years. Sum the column, and those homes can get counted again — like a school counting a student twice because they're on last year's roster and this year's.

Where the extra ADU units come from, 2025 reports

Why does adding up the state's file give a bigger number?

Five cities account for 6,313 of the 9,488 extra units, about two-thirds. Los Angeles alone accounts for 4,881.

The date-matched counts are close to, but do not reproduce, HCD's published handbook totals. HCD's March 2026 ADU Handbook says California permitted 30,354 ADUs in 2024, more than 26.6% of all homes permitted (HCD ADU Handbook, March 2026). Our date-matched method gives 31,081 for 2024 in the September 25 file (26.1%), 2.4% higher. The handbook does not give the query and frozen data needed to show whether the difference comes from revisions, counting rules, or both.

Some of the older-dated units may be late entries rather than repeats. Those older-dated units were not permitted in 2025; the 16 undated units cannot be assigned to a permit year from the recorded date.

Why do these numbers matter now?

Every California city and county must send the state an Annual Progress Report by April 1 covering the year before, and HCD uses the building permits in those reports as its key yardstick for progress toward each place's state-assigned housing goal (HCD Annual Progress Reports). State law lets ADUs count toward that goal (HCD ADU Handbook, March 2026). That goal is called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation, or RHNA: the number of homes each city and county must plan for.

An ADU permit records permission to build, not a finished home. Issued permits help track progress toward the housing goal. When other home permitting falls, as it did from 2022 to 2025, ADUs can carry a larger share of that count.

The rules keep moving, too. In December 2025, HCD added an addendum to its ADU Handbook covering changes to state ADU law that took effect January 1, 2026 (HCD ADU Handbook page). HCD now also publishes a March 2026 handbook. Our plain-English guide to California's ADU rules walks through what's allowed.

Some readers are behind next year's numbers: homeowners thinking about an ADU of their own. After "Can I build one?" come "What will it cost?" and "How do I pay for it?" Start with what an ADU costs to build and how Californians pay for ADUs. For a quick read on your own lot, The Dwelling Index's free Check My Property tool is the place to start.

We started with the state's own data and counted it one consistent way.

Source. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) publishes cities' and counties' reported housing activity on the California Open Data Portal. We used Table A2, the building-activity table (922,507 rows, file last updated Sept. 25, 2026), and queried it on Sept. 29, 2026 through the portal's public data tool.
What we counted. Housing units in the "ADU" category. A permit counts in a year only when its permit date falls in that report year. A finished ADU counts only when its certificate-of-occupancy or other-readiness date falls in that same report year. We counted all homes the same way, so every share compares like with like.
Cities and counties. Each city and each county's unincorporated area stays its own row. County-area totals add them up once.
Missing is not zero. A blank cell means the state file has no rows for that place in that year. A 0 means the place has Table A2 rows but no units met that column's ADU category and date rules. Neither a blank nor a zero proves nothing was built.
Checks. The city and unincorporated-area rows add up exactly to the statewide totals for every year. We checked every published city-year count against a fresh total calculated from the state records. All eight yearly checks matched. We separately reran the statewide query and recomputed every share, change, rank, subset and county total. The exact queries and checks are in the reproduction files. Our method lands within 2.4% of HCD's published 2024 total (31,081 vs. 30,354) and within 5.6% of its January 2025 figure for 2023 (28,424 vs. 26,924), without enough detail in the handbooks to reconcile the differences. The San Francisco Chronicle's July 2026 analysis reported Hillsborough at 56 ADUs of 58 homes and Atherton at 45 of 60; our numbers are the same (San Francisco Chronicle).
The majority rule. A place counts as ADU-majority if it permitted at least 50 homes in 2025 and ADUs were more than half under both counting methods. Here's how the count moves with the cutoff:

How the "ADUs were most homes permitted" count changes with the rules, 2025

How we built this
Places included	Count	ADUs were more than half (both methods)	Date-matched method	As-filed method
Cities and counties with 20+ homes permitted	372	106	117	107
Cities and counties with 50+ homes permitted (our headline rule)	293	62	71	63
Cities and counties with 100+ homes permitted	211	34	40	35
Cities only, 100+ homes permitted	183	30	35	31

Coverage. The file contains 534 jurisdiction/county groups across the 2018–2025 report years. This is the file's coverage, not a complete legal-jurisdiction list. 503 have 2025 rows. These 31 have none for 2025: Alturas, Apple Valley, Azusa, Banning, Canyon Lake, Clayton, Colfax, Compton, Corning, Crescent City, Dorris, Dos Palos, Dunsmuir, Etna, Fort Jones, Glenn County (unincorporated), Hughson, Irwindale, Lawndale, Lynwood, Madera, Mount Shasta, Plymouth, Pomona, San Joaquin, Sand City, Sanger, Santa Paula, Turlock, West Covina, Westmorland.
Undated units. 16 ADU units in the 2025 file had no permit date and are left out of the permit count. One completion unit had no readiness date and is left out of the completion count.

Anyone can rerun the statewide count at the portal's public data tool (data.ca.gov/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql):

``sql SELECT "YEAR", SUM(CASE WHEN "NO_BUILDING_PERMITS" ~ '^[0-9]+$' AND left("BP_ISSUE_DT1",4) = "YEAR" THEN "NO_BUILDING_PERMITS"::int ELSE 0 END) AS adu_permits, SUM(CASE WHEN "NO_OTHER_FORMS_OF_READINESS" ~ '^[0-9]+$' AND left("CO_ISSUE_DT1",4) = "YEAR" THEN "NO_OTHER_FORMS_OF_READINESS"::int ELSE 0 END) AS adu_completed FROM "fe505d9b-8c36-42ba-ba30-08bc4f34e022" WHERE "UNIT_CAT" = 'ADU' GROUP BY "YEAR" ORDER BY "YEAR"; ``

Remove the WHERE "UNIT_CAT" = 'ADU' line to count all homes. To reproduce the full city file, group all unit categories by "JURIS_NAME", "CNTY_NAME" and "YEAR", and put the ADU test inside each sum instead of filtering out non-ADU rows first. That keeps places that have housing rows but no ADU activity. Join those results to all jurisdiction/county groups seen in 2018–2025; leave absent years blank. The full aggregation query records the exact fields and checks. Our full research methodology covers our general standards.

What does this data show, and what doesn't it?

It shows reported ADU permitted units by city and county area for 2018–2025, city completions for 2024–2025, and statewide completions for 2018–2025, counted one consistent way.

It doesn't show every ADU that exists in California, or ADUs built without permits. It doesn't give a finish rate, because a permit and a finish often land in different years. It doesn't show cost, size, rent, or why one city permits more than another. We did not match individual projects or remove repeated events within a report year. An older permit first listed only in a later report is outside this date-matched series. Counts are gross reported units, not net additions after demolitions. Yearly changes can also reflect changes in which places report and how they fill in the form.

Cities and counties fill in these reports themselves, and HCD can revise the file. HCD notes that a year's data isn't complete until June 30 of the following year (HCD APR dashboard); these 2025 figures were checked after that date. The form has no separate category for junior ADUs (small units carved out of an existing home), so junior ADUs enter these counts only where the jurisdiction classified them as ADUs.

Frequently asked questions

How many ADUs were permitted in California in 2025?

California cities and counties issued permits for 32,363 ADUs in 2025, up 4.1% from 31,081 in 2024. That counts housing units whose permits were issued in 2025, as reported to the state.

What percent of new homes in California are ADUs?

ADUs were 26.2% of the homes permitted in California in 2025 (32,363 of 123,726) and 20.2% of the homes finished (22,699 of 112,286). In 2018, they were 7.8% of homes permitted.

Which California city issues the most ADU permits?

Los Angeles, with 7,451 ADU permits in 2025, or 23% of the state's total. San Diego was second with 2,165.

How many ADUs were finished in California in 2025?

Cities and counties reported 22,699 finished ADUs in 2025, up 9.4% from 20,740 in 2024. From 2018 through 2025, they reported 102,260.

Why do other sources give different numbers?

They can count a different year, stage or set of records. California YIMBY put ADUs at 19% of homes produced in 2022 (California YIMBY). The Terner Center used "about 20 percent" on November 13, 2025, citing that 2024 report—not a new 2026 count (Terner Center). About 20% can also describe a different stage: our 2025 completion share is 20.2%, while the permit share is 26.2%.

HCD's March 2026 handbook gives 30,354 permits for 2024; our date-matched count from the September 25 file is 31,081. We cannot establish the cause of that difference from the handbook. Summing the raw 2025 column gives 41,851 because it includes permits dated in other years and 16 undated units.

A February 2025 state Senate fact sheet said over 23,000 ADUs were completed in 2023 (California Senate Housing Committee). The September 25 APR file gives 17,724 when completion dates match the 2023 report year and 18,549 without that date filter. The fact sheet does not explain how its count was made, so these figures remain unreconciled.

Does this include junior ADUs?

The state's form has no separate category for junior ADUs, so junior ADUs enter these counts only where the jurisdiction classified them as ADUs. This page doesn't give a separate junior-ADU total.

Why does my city show no 2025 numbers?

31 cities and county areas have no 2025 rows in the state file as of Sept. 29, 2026. That means there are no Table A2 activity rows for that year. It does not establish that no APR was submitted or that nothing was built.

Can a city finish more ADUs than it permits in a year?

Yes. Long Beach reported 644 ADU permits and 649 finished ADUs in 2025. Permits and finishes are separate yearly counts, so a home finished in 2025 may have received its permit earlier. These counts do not match individual homes.

When will 2026 numbers come out?

Cities and counties must report 2026 activity by April 1, 2027 (HCD instructions), and HCD says a year's data isn't complete until June 30 of the next year (APR dashboard). We'll update this page when most places have 2026 rows in the state file.
