Palo Alto Permits & Process
Palo Alto's planning department has detailed local standards on top of state-mandated ADU rules — including heritage tree protection, stormwater detention thresholds, and fire-department review when the new structure is beyond a certain distance from the main house. Plan check typically runs 4–8 weeks for a complete submittal.
