Albuquerque ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
City sources confirm ADUs/casitas are allowed in Albuquerque and specify size and setback rules, but the provided results do not include an official fee schedule. The city directs applicants to ABQ-PLAN and the Building Safety counter for permit processing, so exact ADU permit, plan check, inspection, and utility connection fees must be verified directly with the city and utility authority.

Fee overview
No official Albuquerque ADU fee schedule was included in the search results, so exact permit, plan check, inspection, impact, school, and utility fees remain unverified.
A secondary source mentioned fee ranges, but they were not corroborated by official city or utility sources and should not be treated as exact city fees.
Fee treatment may depend on zoning district, utility work, and whether the ADU is detached, attached, or a conversion.
The user wants ADU-related permitting and pre-development fees rather than total construction cost.
Only fees that affect a typical Albuquerque ADU/casita application were considered.
Because exact official fee amounts were not present in the provided results, numeric fee fields are left null.
FAQs
Are Albuquerque ADU fee estimates official?
No. ADUFee.com provides planning estimates only. Final fees are set by the city, utility providers, school district, and other agencies.
What sources are used for Albuquerque?
The database stores city, state, utility, school, county, and other source links where available. Each estimate should still be verified locally.
Can ADU fees vary within New Mexico?
Yes. Permit, utility, school, inspection, and impact fees can vary by jurisdiction, parcel, project size, utility provider, and local interpretation.
