Grand Rapids ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Grand Rapids allows ADUs subject to local zoning and planning review, but the official city materials available here do not publish a clear ADU-specific fee schedule. The most reliable next step is to confirm building permit, planning review, and utility connection charges directly with the City Development Center and water/sewer staff.

Fee overview
The available official city source confirms ADU rules and contacts, but it does not publish exact fee amounts in the supplied material.
Secondary sources mention permit ranges, but those amounts should not be treated as official city fees.
Grand Rapids ADUs may require zoning or special land use review in addition to building permits, which can create multiple fee layers.
The user is asking about ADU-related permit and pre-development fees within the City of Grand Rapids limits, not nearby townships or Kent County outside the city.
No city fee schedule was available in the provided sources, so unresolved amounts are left null rather than inferred.
Utility charges may vary by whether the ADU uses existing service or requires new or upsized connections.
