“Parking replacement: the law changed in 2020. If your garage is within ½ mile of transit or in a single-family zone, you do NOT have to replace the parking you're removing with the garage conversion. This is a common contractor myth that deters homeowners from projects that would otherwise pencil out financially. Check your specific parcel at LADBS.org.”
Specify your HVAC system early: a mini-split heat pump is almost always the correct choice for a garage conversion ADU, not an extension of the main house duct system. The mini-split gives the ADU independent climate control, doesn't affect the main house HVAC balance, and is energy-efficient. Budget $3,000–5,000 for the unit and installation.
