City Of Citrus Heights: The City Of Citrus Heights Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program (PRADU)

Press release from the City of Citrus Heights:

June 18, 2021

Funded by a grant from the State Department of Housing and Community Development, the City’s PRADU program provides free, pre-approved plans for accessory dwelling units, saving Citrus Heights residents an estimated $7,000. The plans can be viewed on the City’s website: http://citrusheights.net/1108/Permit-Ready-ADU-Program. This new program eliminates the need to hire an architect, saves time on plan review, and saves money on fees.



In addition to providing PRADU plans for free, the City has also scheduled an education webinar on ADUs and published a Homeowner’s Planning Guide.
