Woodland rules that affect a attached adu
In Woodland, 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 City of Woodland Community Development Department reviews it as new attached square footage.
Local permitting: Woodland's Community Development Department reviews ADUs in Yolo County under the standard 4 ft setbacks and 16 ft height limit. The two ends of town read differently: the historic downtown grid is full of older structures and garages that convert well, while newer Spring Lake lots are larger and flatter for a ground-up build.
That's the attached adu-specific picture. For the full Yolo County rulebook — every setback, height, and owner-occupancy detail — see our Sacramento-region ADU rules guide, and learn how the build type works statewide on our attached adu page.
