Granite Bay rules that affect a attached adu
In Granite Bay, an attached unit shares a wall and utility runs with your main home, which can cut trenching and site costs — useful on tighter lots where a fully detached build would crowd the yard. The Placer County Community Development Resource Agency reviews it as new attached square footage.
Local permitting: Granite Bay is unincorporated Placer County, permitting through the Community Development Resource Agency. Estate lots are large but often on septic with HOA design review (Los Lagos), so custom detached ADUs with upscale finishes are the norm and septic capacity is checked early.
