Roseville, CA Accessory Structures: ADU Impact Fees (2026)

Roseville folds accessory dwelling unit (ADU) fee-setting out of the zoning ordinance itself. Chapter 19.60 (Accessory Dwelling Units) governs both full ADUs and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs), and Section 19.60.100, titled simply "Fees," states that all fees and charges will be charged in accordance with the Accessory Dwelling Units Fee Policy adopted by the City Council on April 21, 2021 by Resolution No. 21-146, as amended from time to time. That means the dollar amounts for plan check, building permit, and any applicable impact fees live in a Council resolution outside the code, not in a numeric fee table printed in Title 19.

The fee trigger is tied to the permit process: Section 19.60.040 requires a building permit prior to construction or creation of an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit, so fees under Resolution No. 21-146 attach at that building-permit stage. If a proposed ADU or JADU cannot meet the chapter's development standards for setbacks, height, size, or design, Section 19.60.110 requires the applicant to obtain a separate Administrative Permit under Chapter 19.74 (Permit and Variance Requirements), which carries its own application and processing costs on top of the ADU-specific fee policy.

Because Section 19.60.100 references, rather than restates, the fee schedule, applicants must pull the current Resolution No. 21-146 fee sheet from the Planning Division to see actual dollar figures; the ordinance text itself commits only to following whatever that resolution sets, as amended from time to time.
