Before you remodel

What to know about
remodeling in Monte Sereno.

Monte Sereno sits in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains and is entirely residential, with no commercial zoning and 99 percent single-family housing. The city's Site Development Permit submittal requirements list fees for new houses, additions, accessory buildings and hillside development on parcels over 10 percent average slope, and grading over 50 cubic yards requires a plan stamped by a licensed engineer.

Monte Sereno offers pre-approved plans for detached ADUs, but those plans are not approved for sites within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI).

Planning an ADU? Read the official Monte Sereno 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.
