Sacramento · detached ADU · ministerial by state law
Housing permits at the speed the law promises.
California gives cities 60 days to decide a detached-ADU permit (Gov. Code §66317). The mechanical work — completeness, setbacks, heights, document checks — takes Greenlight minutes, cited to the exact code section. People keep the judgment. Housing gets built.
For builders & homeowners
I'm building an ADU
Start from your parcel. Greenlight pre-fills what it can — always showing its source — explains every field in plain language with the code section behind it, and won't let an incomplete application out the door.

I review permits
Every submission arrives pre-checked: verdict, evidence, and verbatim citation on every rule. Your judgment goes where it's actually needed — you concur, override, and sign. Nothing issues without you.

The application mirrors Sacramento's own intake packet, field for field. The completeness check runs before submission — so “Submittal Incomplete” simply can't happen.
Checked in minutes, with citations
Deterministic rule checks cover every objective standard — setbacks, height, size, zone — each one citing the exact code section. No black box, no guesses.
A human signs every determination
Greenlight recommends; a certified reviewer decides. Judgment-tier items are flagged as questions, never auto-decided. The full audit trail is one query away.
