Sacramento County uses ministerial (over-the-counter) review for state-mandated ADUs in Vineyard under Govt Code §65852.2. The County must approve or deny a complete ADU application within 60 days. Permit fees include building, plan check, school impact, and SMUD/utility connection.
Under California Govt Code §65852.2(b), Sacramento County must process ADU applications ministerially with no public hearing and approve or deny within 60 days of a complete application. Plans must show ADU size, height, setbacks, parking (if required), and utility connections. The County typically issues permits for compliant designs over the counter. Fee waivers apply to ADUs under 750 sq ft (no impact fees per Govt Code §65852.2(f)). ADUs 750+ sq ft pay proportional impact fees based on size relative to primary dwelling.
Failure to act within 60 days: applicant may seek mandamus relief. Conditioning permits on prohibited requirements (e.g., owner-occupancy on state-bonus ADUs): preempted under state law.
