Before you remodel
What to know about
What to know about
remodeling in San Carlos.
San Carlos's Single-Family Objective Design Standards took effect December 13, 2023, and apply to primary residences, ADUs, and SB 9 units, with compliant projects eligible for staff-level approval without a public hearing.
New homes and additions go through a Single Family Residential Compliance Review, and most single-family homes in San Carlos are zoned RS-6 or RS-3.
ADUs and JADUs are reviewed ministerially without a public hearing, and ADUs under 750 square feet pay no impact fees.
Planning an ADU? Read the official San Carlos ADU information, then talk to us about your lot.
Our client chose us for a complex full-home renovation and experienced professionalism, clear communication, and exceptional attention to detail throughout every stage of the project.
