Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ADU, and can I build one on my Scottsdale property?

Yes, Scottsdale allows accessory dwelling units on single-family lots since January 2025. You may build one attached and one detached ADU per lot, provided the property has an existing main home, separate metering, and meets setback requirements. ADUs cannot be sold separately from the main home. If rented, the owner must reside on the property.

How do HOA design boards affect custom home projects?

Design boards in Paradise Valley and Gainey Ranch require pre-approval before construction. We submit renderings, material samples, and architectural details early. Approvals typically take 2–3 weeks. By coordinating with boards upfront, we prevent costly design changes.

What permits do I need for a room addition in Scottsdale?

Every addition requires building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits, plus approval from the City of Scottsdale Planning Department. If your home is in an HOA, design review approval comes first. We handle all submissions and coordinate with inspectors throughout construction.

Are there lot size or zoning restrictions for custom homes in North Scottsdale?

Yes, zoning varies by neighborhood. North Scottsdale has low-density residential zones (R1-190, R1-43) with larger minimum lot sizes. Desert Mountain and Silverleaf enforce architectural standards. We evaluate your lot early to clarify building envelope, setbacks, and design flexibility.

How does the separate metering requirement work for ADUs?

ADUs must have independently metered electrical and gas utilities. Water and sewer may share the main tap but branch separately to the ADU. We coordinate with utility providers and the permitting process to ensure compliance and prevent delays.

Do you handle whole-home remodels in established neighborhoods like McCormick Ranch?

Yes, McCormick Ranch homes built in the 1970s–80s benefit from updated layouts and modern systems. We manage reconfiguration, structural review, MEP integration, and design continuity with surrounding homes. Most HOAs in planned communities require design review for exterior changes.
