Providence ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Providence appears to allow ADUs by right under Rhode Island law, but I could not verify an official city fee schedule in the provided results. Available non-official sources suggest standard building and plan-review fees may apply, while ADU-specific impact or school fees are likely none or not separately charged; these amounts should be verified directly with the City of Providence.
