Hickory ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Hickory’s official public pages confirm that accessory structures need zoning review and, in some cases, a building permit, but the available sources do not provide an ADU-specific fee schedule. Exact permit, impact, utility, school, and inspection fees should be verified directly with the city’s Permit Center and Planning and Development Division.
