Introducing The Napa Sonoma ADU Standard Plans Program

Working in collaboration with jurisdictions across Napa and Sonoma counties, the program offers a gallery of ADU designs you can browse to find the one that works best for you.
In addition, the Napa Sonoma ADU Center offers a feasibility consult to help you determine what’s possible on your property. They can also help you understand:
- Costs associated with building your ADU
- Financing options
- Return on investment
- Local ADU rules
- The permit process
Starting with this consult is important because it will help ensure that the plan you select will be accepted by your jurisdiction. Even “pre-reviewed” plans must be submitted information for final review and approval by your local building department; therefore, it’s highly recommended to have Sightline Builders assist you throughout the permitting process.

The Napa Sonoma ADU Standard Plans Program offers site-built plans for ADUs constructed on your property. There are site-built plans that have been “pre-reviewed for compliance with the applicable building code requirements as well as site-built plans that will need to be reviewed through a standard process.
