Why Build An ADU in El Dorado Hills
If you’re a homeowner in El Dorado Hills, building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a smart way to increase your property value, earn rental income, and create space for family—without leaving the neighborhood you love!
- Increase Property Value: ADUs are a great way to boost your home’s market appeal.
- Earn Passive Income: Use your ADU as a short-term rental or a long-term lease.

El Dorado Hills ADU Regulations Made Simple

Setback Rules
Newly constructed detached ADUs must have minimum side and rear yard setbacks of at least four feet.
Parking Requirements
One additional off-street parking space on the lot must be made continuously available to the occupants of the ADU.
Owner Occupancy
