Permits / Authority
West Hollywood permits
West Hollywood is its own city. Its Building and Safety division provides plan-check services, and its planning staff publish general ADU information alongside a pre-approved ADU program.
Official starting points
Confirm the parcel's city
Confirm the address is inside West Hollywood city limits; a mailing name alone does not decide the reviewing agency.
Pre-approved ADU program
A pre-approved design still needs a permit for your lot.
Who reviews what, and where to start
Planning review (land use, overlays, design) and building review (drawings, permits, inspections) can be separate offices. The current checklist lives on each office's official page; the links below are the starting point, not the checklist itself.
