Riverside ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Riverside allows ADUs and publishes a building permit/plan check fee schedule based on valuation; California’s ADU rules also limit local impact fees for smaller ADUs. Exact project totals still need verification against the current city fee schedule, utility providers, and Riverside Unified School District rules.

Fee overview
The city fee PDF does not provide a single flat ADU permit price; the permit and plan check charges depend on valuation.
Impact fees and school fees can change based on ADU size, state law, and local district policy; verify at the time of permit submittal.
No official Riverside utility connection fee schedule was confirmed from the provided sources, so utility costs remain incomplete.
The project is a standard residential ADU submitted to the City of Riverside Building & Safety Division.
The ADU is not a special case involving major grading, fire sprinkler expansion, utility relocation, or other site-specific conditions that could add separate fees.
Any school fees would depend on Riverside Unified School District rules and the ADU’s final square footage.
