can I build both an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) on the same property?

Yes, in most jurisdictions, including California, you can build both an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) on the same property, meaning you can have one of each on a single lot with a single-family residence; however, always check local regulations to confirm specifics for your area.

Key points to remember:

  • One per lot: Typically, you can only build one ADU and one JADU on a single property. 
  • Attached JADU: A JADU is usually required to be attached to the main house or an existing ADU. 
  • Size limitations: JADUs are smaller than ADUs, with specific square footage restrictions depending on local codes. 
  • Owner occupancy: Some jurisdictions may require owner occupancy of either the ADU or JADU.
