Stockton ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Stockton states that ADU permit fees are calculated at application submittal, and its public ADU flyer says city impact fees do not apply to ADUs under 750 square feet. The city also says ADU plans are available free of charge, but school district developer fees and utility connection fees may still apply depending on the project and service requirements.

Fee overview
California ADU fee rules differ by unit size and project scope, so fees can change materially for attached, detached, conversion, or larger units.
School district and utility fees are highly parcel-specific and should not be assumed from city-only sources.
Do not use unofficial fee estimates as exact project costs; Stockton's official materials direct applicants to confirm current fees with the city.
The relevant question is the city-level ADU fee picture for a standard Stockton property, not a specific parcel or school district boundary.
Because Stockton does not publish a clear public ADU fee schedule in the available official materials, the exact permit amount must be verified with the city at submittal.
Stockton fee estimates should be verified against the current city, utility, and school district fee schedules before filing.
