Permitting ADU in R2 Zone

[Jowan Chism]

Hello, 

Currently in the process of purchasing a single family home that has an ADU that is not permitted. Does anyone know if its possible to permit the unit while going through escrow?

Typically getting something permitted takes a lot longer than you would be in escrow on. You can delay closing to try and get it permitted or reduce the price /do not consider it an ADU as part of your offer. Also recognize that any structure or unit unpermitted could open up the door to having you have to remove it.
