Milpitas, California
The city that said yes to ADUs.
Milpitas is the tidiest service area we have. One ZIP code, 95035, covers the entire city, and permits run through the Office of Building Safety, which is its own department rather than a division of planning.
Milpitas has leaned harder into accessory dwelling units than any of its neighbors. The city publishes pre-approved ADU plan sets, and it runs a legalization pathway for units that were built without permits, which is a real option if you bought a house with a converted garage or a back unit and no paperwork to go with it. We can build either route.
We work Sunnyhills, Hillcrest, Parktown, Country Club, Sinclair Horizon, and the blocks around Milpitas Metro and Main Street. Properties east of North Park Victoria Drive and Evans Road sit in the hillside building code area, which carries extra requirements and is excluded from the pre-approved ADU program, so hillside lots get a custom set.

Often, yes. Milpitas runs a legalization pathway for existing unpermitted accessory dwelling units. We start with a walkthrough to see what's actually behind the drywall, then scope the corrective work the city will want before it will issue. -
