Inyo County Pre-Approved Building Plan Sets
Inyo County’s permit-ready designs were commissioned by the County of Inyo and are pre-approved by the County Department of Building and Safety. They are made available to you at no cost to save you time and money in building an ADU or Single Family Home on your property. These full construction plan sets are designed by qualified professionals to meet local building codes and safety regulations.
Pre-approved plans can save time and money by reducing the need to develop a custom design and by expediting the permitting process. Properties owners using pre-approved plans will save approximately 50% from the cost of a permit because the plans have already been checked.
To use these plan sets, homeowners may still want to work with an architect to complete the site-specific design work, but it should be minimal. For questions regarding your zoning, ADU placement, and landscape planning, please contact the Inyo County Planning Department. When your site-specific designs are complete, visit Inyo County Building and Safety with your plan set to get your building permit and get started! Please note: any unit built using these pre-approved plans will be required to record a deed restriction prohibiting their use as a short-term rental. Units will be allowed to be rented for lengths greater than 30 days.
