        "text": "Yes, the **city of Los Angeles and unincorporated Los Angeles County have different ADU ordinances**, even though both must follow state law. Details on size, height, parking, and process can differ.\n\nYour address determines which agency controls your project, so the first step is confirming whether you’re inside city limits or in unincorporated territory. From there, you can pull the correct ADU standards.\n\nKey factors:\n- Different planning departments, submittal portals, and forms\n- Slightly different rules on maximum size, height, and setbacks\n- Varying parking and replacement‑parking requirements\n- Different plan check timelines and fee structures\n\nUse your Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) or local GIS tools to confirm jurisdiction before you start design. Never assume that a rule you read for “LA ADUs” applies everywhere in the county.\n\nADU professionals operating county‑wide will know how your jurisdiction’s rules differ and design accordingly."
