Long Beach ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Long Beach appears to charge standard city plan-check/permit processing fees plus county/school-related charges where applicable, but the official fee schedule page does not clearly isolate ADU-specific dollar amounts in the provided results. California’s ADU fee rules still apply: impact fees are generally waived for ADUs under 750 sq ft, while larger ADUs may trigger proportionate fees, and Long Beach also indicates a 4.5% Technology Surcharge, 4.5% General Plan Surcharge, and a $90 processing fee on each plan check and permit application.

Fee overview
The official City of Long Beach fee schedule page in the search results does not expose a clean ADU-specific fee table, so exact permit and plan-check amounts could not be confirmed from official sources.
Secondary sources mention ranges for plan check and building permit fees, but these should be treated as unverified until checked against the city permit counter.
Utility, school district, and any larger-ADU impact fees may change based on project size, valuation, and utility configuration.
The user wants ADU-related permit and pre-development fees, not full construction costs.
If a fee is not explicitly listed in an official source, it is left null rather than estimated.
California statewide ADU fee rules apply in Long Beach, including the under-750-sq-ft impact-fee exemption framework.
