Before you remodel

What to know about
remodeling in Hillsborough.

In Hillsborough, additions over 500 square feet and second-story additions of any size visible from the public right-of-way require formal review by the Architecture and Design Review Board, and new houses need preliminary review first.

Smaller additions under 500 square feet, and changes to architectural style or exterior materials, go through staff-level design review, and the Town accepts only digital submittals.

ADUs that meet state-exempt criteria, including side and rear setbacks of at least 4 feet, 800 square feet or less and a roof height of 16 feet or less, may be submitted directly to the Building Division, and the Town offers an ADU Plans Gallery of pre-approved designs.

Planning an ADU? Read the official Hillsborough 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.
