Find the obvious ADU traps before you buy plans.
This quick fit check catches the homeowner questions other sites usually bury: city vs. county path, HOA, flood, sewer/septic, access, trees, and whether the idea is a backyard cottage, in-law suite, tiny home, or 3D printed home concept.
This is not a permit decision. It is a lead-in to a real Orange County desktop property screen.

Why this quick check helps
Get an answer before the sales call
You should not have to call a builder just to learn that the property has an obvious issue. This gives you a first-pass read before the real address screen.
Use your words
Whether you call it an ADU, tiny home, granny flat, in-law suite, guest house, backyard cottage, or 3D printed home, the property still has to work.
The address is what matters
A useful answer depends on the parcel, jurisdiction, flood signal, utilities, access, and private restrictions — not a generic square-foot price.
