Manhattan ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Manhattan is part of New York City’s new ADU program, but the available official guidance found here does not provide a Manhattan-specific permit fee schedule. The clearest documented ADU-related charge is a $600 NYC DOB fee for each pre-approved ADU design submission; other project permit, plan review, and any utility-related charges must be verified in the underlying NYC permit and utility schedules.

FAQs
Are Manhattan 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 Manhattan?
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 York?
Yes. Permit, utility, school, inspection, and impact fees can vary by jurisdiction, parcel, project size, utility provider, and local interpretation.
