Los Gatos Garage Conversion FAQs
Helpful answers before you request a remodeling consultation.
Can an attached garage become a JADU in Los Gatos?
The Town says a JADU can be contained entirely within a single-family residence, including an attached garage, and cannot exceed 500 square feet. Current zoning and building requirements still apply.
How is a Los Gatos ADU different from a JADU?
An ADU must include living and sleeping areas, a kitchen, and a full bathroom. A JADU is smaller, stays within a single-family residence, and follows its own kitchen, sanitation, access, and owner-occupancy rules.
Does the Town have a streamlined permit process?
Los Gatos publishes a single application and plan-review process for ADU and JADU building permits. The exact plans and outside-agency requirements depend on the property and proposal.
What existing conditions should be checked first?
Review structure, slab and moisture, roof and ceiling height, fire separation, egress, insulation, electrical capacity, plumbing and sewer routes, HVAC, driveway and parking conditions, access, and prior permits.
What should I send before the first call?
Send the Los Gatos address, garage photos and dimensions, attached or detached condition, intended use, utility information, any permit history, and your priorities for layout, access, privacy, and finishes.
