Chula Vista ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Chula Vista states that ADUs under 750 square feet are exempt from development impact and in-lieu fees, while ADUs 750 square feet and larger are charged proportionately to the primary residence on a square-footage basis. The city’s 2024 fee resolution shows ADU permit-related charges, but the exact live fee schedule should be verified before filing.

Step 1 of 5: Location
The calculator uses staged city data from the ADUFee database with visible confidence levels and dated source tracking.
Fee overview
Exact permit, plan-check, inspection, utility, and school fee dollar amounts were not fully available from the provided official sources, so numeric fees are not populated.
The city indicates school-fee information should be confirmed with Development Services, so school fees may apply depending on project size and current district rules.
Any ADU 750 square feet or larger may still owe proportionate development impact fees even if some other fees are reduced or waived.
The user wants ADU-related permit and pre-development fee data, not total construction cost estimates.
The city’s current fee schedule may have changed since the 2024 resolution, so uncited exact dollar amounts are intentionally omitted.
California ADU impact-fee baseline rules apply because Chula Vista is in California.
