Building in Mountain View
Every city in our area is its own jurisdiction with its own review process. What's true in one does not carry across the city line — which is why this page exists rather than a single generic service-area page.
Lot sizes in Mountain View vary sharply between neighborhoods, so whether a detached ADU or an addition is the better move is genuinely a per-parcel question. It is worth answering before you pay anyone to draw something.
We work throughout Mountain View — whether you're in Downtown Mountain View on Castro Street, Cuesta Park, Old Mountain View, or North Bayshore, the build is the same standard.
Permits. Work in Mountain View is permitted through the City of Mountain View Building Division. We carry the submittal and the plan-check corrections — that is our job, not yours.

What a Mountain View project costs
We publish our real ranges rather than making you book a call to find them out, and our minimum project size is $20,000. What moves a number in Mountain View is rarely the finishes — it is the site, the utilities and what turns up once something is opened.
Public record
Permits and ADU rules in Mountain View
These are links to the city's own pages, not our summary of them. We carry the submittal and the plan-check corrections on a project we build, so this is not information you have to act on yourself. It is here because you should be able to check it either way.
Mountain View runs a dedicated development-permits site separate from the main city site, and ADUs need a building permit but no planning permit.
Pre-approved ADU plans. Mountain View runs a pre-approved ADU plan program and is still building out its public gallery. Since AB 1332 took effect on January 1, 2025, California cities have had to run a pre-approved ADU plan program and post the approved plans publicly. Where a usable plan exists it can take real time and design cost out of a project, because the design has already been reviewed and only the site-specific work is left.

Links checked August 2026 and pointing at government pages. Cities change both their pages and their rules, so confirm anything current with the City of Mountain View Building Division. We deliberately do not publish Mountain View permit fees or review times here: those move, they vary by project, and a number that is out of date is worse than no number at all.
