Garland ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Garland’s published building-permit schedule shows valuation-based permit fees for new construction and additions, which is the closest official fee structure likely to apply to an ADU. I did not find a Garland-specific ADU fee table, so exact ADU total cost should be verified with Building Inspections and any applicable utility/inspection fees.[3][7]

Fee overview
No Garland-specific ADU fee schedule was found in the provided sources.
The published building-permit page does not fully explain the 25% processing fee calculation, so total permit cost cannot be derived exactly from the available text.
Additional fees may apply for water/sewer connections, engineering review, or other site-specific work, but exact official amounts were not confirmed.
The ADU would likely be processed under Garland’s new-construction or addition permit category rather than a separate ADU-only permit class.
Utility, plan review, and inspection charges beyond the published permit minimum may apply depending on project scope.
A Dallas County or Garland school-district ADU fee was not identified in the available official sources and may not exist as a separate line item.
FAQs
Are Garland 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 Garland?
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 Texas?
Yes. Permit, utility, school, inspection, and impact fees can vary by jurisdiction, parcel, project size, utility provider, and local interpretation.
