Complete legal notices for your ADU

Learn which legal notices you must complete and how to complete them.

What to do

1. Complete your Notice of Special Restrictions (NSR)

All ADUs must complete a Notice of Special Restrictions (NSR). 

Your planner will work with you to write and complete your NSR.

For State ADUs, you will record the NSR at the City Assessor’s office. The NSR must be recorded before we can issue your permit and your construction starts.

2. Complete your Costa Hawkins agreement

ADUs approved under the Local program must complete a Costa Hawkins agreement. 

We will record the NSR and the Costa-Hawkins on your behalf. Both must be recorded before we can issue your permit and your construction starts.
