Homeowners in Santa Rosa learned all about the planning, permitting, and building process for accessory dwelling units during our ADU Webinar on September 23rd. Santa Rosa’s Chief Building Official Jesse Oswald joined us, and he shares that “Accessory dwelling units are an important way that we can increase much-needed housing for our community. City staff are here to provide ADU guidance and information to homeowners and property owners in the City of Santa Rosa.”
We recorded the ADU Webinar for you so you can now watch it anytime on-demand, and hear directly from Santa Rosa’s local Planning & Building Department in a low-pressure, friendly environment.
Check out a brief index of content below if you’d like to skip to the parts of the recorded webinar that are most relevant to your ADU questions.
Join us for future ADU webinars by registering for upcoming opportunities on our new Events page on our website! Our ADU Fall Webinar series continues on Wednesday, October 28 with a webinar featuring local ADU experts and some surprise guests who will dive into their lessons learned and top tips for successful ADU projects relevant to homeowners across both Napa and Sonoma Counties.
Our live ADU Fall Webinar series continues into November through a partnership with Sonoma County’s Permit Sonoma on Thursday, November 12 and there will be more webinars coming soon with the planning and building folks at multiple other Napa and Sonoma County cities and unincorporated county as well. All webinars will be recorded and posted on our website afterwards to be viewed by homeowners at your convenience on-demand.
The content in our ADU webinars is simply information, and is not legal advice regarding your specific ADU project. Keep in mind that local ADU rules change over time, and every homeowner’s ADU project and parcel is unique so always make sure to consult directly with your local city or county before diving into your ADU project.
