FAQs

Check out some common questions about our process

Can I do this report on my own?

It is possible. You can find the zoning information if you have the time and patience. We have heard the stressful stories of homeowners having issues with the local jurisdictions and have seen homeowners miss certain rules that would have resulted in tens of thousands of dollars wasted on design and planning, only to find themselves starting over during permit review.

Here is just some of the info for the zoning part of the analysis:

Zoning Requirement Example
Planning Department Contact name, email, phone
Zone Code R-1
Setbacks back, sides, front
FAR / Lot Coverage Requirements max, % of primary home
Height max, or % of primary home
Design aesthetic requirements
Historic Designation Yes / No
Parking Requirements 1/2 mile from transit
Flood, Earthquake, Fire Zone Yes / No
Designs that fit 5 designs fit your property and zone code
How does Dwellito ensure the accuracy of the Site Analysis Report?

We use cutting-edge technology and our decade-long industry experience in land use code to deliver accurate, reliable reports.

We start by collecting precise property data, which includes the size, location, and topographical characteristics. Next, we cross-reference this data with comprehensive databases of local zoning rules and building codes. These databases are updated regularly to ensure the most current regulations are taken into account. Our analysis is then reviewed by our team of experienced land use specialists for an additional layer of verification. This methodical process, combining high-level technology with expert human oversight, ensures we deliver an accurate and reliable Site Analysis Report.

Will someone come out to my property?

No, this is virtual analysis to understand the local rules as opposed to construction details. A site visit may be needed after the virtual analysis.

Some other companies will use a bait-and-switch approach to lock you in. We wanted homeowners to have a better option where you can plan your ADU before you commit to a builder. You can take the report to any contractor or ADU company afterwards, no pressure (we promise).

If I get this report, do I have to use Dwellito?

Not at all. Our main priority is to help you plan before you engage a sales team. We've separated the ADU report from the Sales process so that you wouldn't have to be confused or pressured during the planning phase.
