Bellevue homeowners can generally build one detached ADU (DADU) and one attached ADU (AADU) on a single-family lot, provided certain conditions are met. Key regulations include size limits, which typically cap DADUs at 1,000 square feet or a percentage of the main home's size, and specific setback requirements from property lines. There are also rules regarding owner occupancy, parking provisions, and design standards to ensure the ADU is compatible with the existing neighborhood character. We can help you review your specific property's eligibility and navigate the Bellevue City Code requirements.
The permitting process for an ADU in Bellevue typically takes between 3 to 6 months from the initial application submission to final approval, though this can vary. This timeframe includes plan review by various city departments, potential revisions, and public notification periods. Factors like the completeness of your application, the complexity of your design, and the current volume of applications at the City of Bellevue Planning Department can influence the exact duration. We assist with preparing thorough permit applications to help expedite this process.
The average cost for building an ADU in Bellevue typically ranges from $200,000 to $400,000, depending on several factors. These factors include the size and complexity of the unit, the quality of materials and finishes chosen, site-specific challenges like sloped lots or utility connections, and current construction material costs. A smaller, simpler attached ADU might be on the lower end, while a larger, custom-designed detached ADU with high-end finishes would be on the higher end.
