Step 1
Free Feasibility Study
Submit your property address and we run it through our automated GIS pipeline. We cross-reference Whatcom County parcel data, zoning maps, critical area overlays, Lake Whatcom Watershed boundaries, and transit routes to determine exactly what you can build.
- Parcel zoning and lot size verification
- ADU eligibility assessment (yes/no/conditional)
- Maximum ADU count and size allowed
- Critical areas and watershed check
- Parking requirements or exemptions
- Preliminary cost estimate by ADU type

Step 2
Land Use Permits — $1,500
Our permit specialist, Loren, takes over. He conducts a deep-dive analysis of your property, meets with the planning department, and handles every aspect of your land use permit application.
You'll receive a comprehensive Permit Feasibility Report telling you exactly what type(s) of ADU your property can support, maximum size and configuration, all restrictions, estimated timeline, and estimated total project cost.
If your property doesn't qualify, we'll tell you honestly — the deposit covers the work either way.
