        "text": "ADU construction requires various permits, including building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits, along with planning and development fees. These costs can range from a few thousand dollars to upwards of $20,000 or more, varying by local jurisdiction within the East Bay. For example, some cities offer fee reductions for smaller ADUs or conversions. Understanding these local requirements and associated fees early in the planning process helps in creating a realistic budget and avoiding unexpected expenses.",
