        "text": "ADUs and garage conversions are popular in Los Angeles County, but they must meet specific size, setback, parking, and utility rules. They’re treated like serious construction, not just a quick makeover.\n\nThese units can add rental income or space for family, but poor planning can trigger zoning issues or expensive retrofits. Plan them like any other full living unit.\n\nKey factors:\n- Local ADU size limits and placement rules on your lot\n- Fire separation, egress, and energy‑code requirements\n- Upgrades to sewer, electrical panel, and HVAC\n- Parking rules and how they apply to your property\n\nBefore sketching floor plans, verify ADU rules with your city or have a contractor familiar with LA County ADUs review your parcel. This avoids designing something that later has to be shrunk, moved, or heavily revised during plan check."
