Santa Clarita ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Santa Clarita’s planning fee schedule lists a $400 ADU planning fee, but exact total permit costs still need verification from building, public works, fire, school district, and utility fee schedules. California law also limits ADU development impact fees: ADUs under 750 square feet are exempt, and larger ADUs must be charged proportionally by size.

Fee overview
The provided official city source only clearly shows a planning fee; it does not provide a full citywide ADU fee breakdown.
California impact-fee rules are size-dependent, so final fees may change based on ADU square footage.
Utility, school, fire, and building division charges may exist but were not confirmed from official fee schedules in the available sources.
The parcel is within the City of Santa Clarita and not in an area with separately administered utility or school connection rules.
The requested fee data refers to fees for a standard ADU permit package rather than a JADU or purely ministerial screening fee.
Santa Clarita fee estimates should be verified against the current city, utility, and school district fee schedules before filing.
