Fort Wayne ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Fort Wayne now has an ADU zoning allowance, but the available official fee information is from Allen County’s planning fee schedule rather than a dedicated ADU fee sheet. The clearest documented charge relevant to an ADU is a $500 public-hearing fee reported in local coverage of the ordinance, while county permit fees suggest accessory-structure/improvement-location permitting may range from $70 to $120 depending on size and scope.

Fee overview
Do not rely on the $500 hearing fee or county accessory-structure fees as the full ADU cost without verification from the City of Fort Wayne or Allen County Planning Services.
The provided sources do not include a definitive official ADU fee schedule, so exact total fees remain uncertain.
If the project requires separate building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or utility taps, additional fees may apply but were not documented in the supplied sources.
Fort Wayne ADUs may be processed through Allen County planning/building workflows rather than a standalone city ADU fee schedule.
The $70 and $120 county fees may apply only to certain accessory structures and may not equal the full cost of an ADU permit package.
No utility connection, school, or impact fee schedule specific to Fort Wayne ADUs was confirmed in the provided sources.
