Local Insights

West Hills permitting snapshot

Fresh data points from ADU plan checks we manage in West Hills and nearby neighborhoods.

Permits for West Hills ADUs are reviewed by LADBS Van Nuys & Calabasas satellite counters. We submit structural, Title 24, and site plans digitally to shorten review windows.
Typical timelines run 10-14 weeks when correction notices are answered within five business days.
Larger West Hills backyards make detached rentals + pool houses achievable without variances.
West Hills sits within the West Valley service zone, so we pair designs with local zoning, parking, and financing programs.
