How to Provide My 525’ Phoenix Model Mini Home From California Round House Company as an ADU After the L.A. Fires
To provide your 525’ Phoenix Model mini home from California Round House Company as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) after the L.A. fires, follow these streamlined steps outlined for 2025:
1. Confirm Legal Eligibility
- After the 2025 L.A. fires, California and local Los Angeles County authorities have relaxed and expedited ADU permitting for fire-impacted properties.
- You can build and occupy an ADU on your lot as a permanent home, even before your main residence is rebuilt.
- Prefabricated and modular ADUs—including homes like the Phoenix Model—are allowed, provided they meet safety, zoning, and utility standards. Most prefab units qualify if certified as ADUs.
- Check with your local planning department to confirm property-specific rules and programs—especially if your parcel is in Altadena or similar areas with unique guidelines.

2. Work With Your Manufacturer
- California Round House is an approved manufacturer and installer for panelized, code-compliant homes like the Phoenix Model.

3. Fast-Track Permitting
- Los Angeles County reviews ADU permits for fire survivors in as little as two business days. Application fees are often reduced or waived.
- Governor Newsom’s 2025 executive order temporarily removed additional environmental reviews (such as CEQA and the Coastal Act) for ADUs on fire-damaged lots.
4. Utility Connections & Inspections
- All ADUs must be connected to approved water, sewer (or septic), and electric services.
- Safety inspections are required before occupancy, even for prefabricated models.
- California’s insurance rules ensure temporary housing support for up to 24 months, and allow you to use your ADU as a primary residence or to house others.
5. Delivery & Installation
- Panelized or modular homes such as the Phoenix Model can be rapidly installed—typically within a few weeks after permit approval.
- California Round House assists clients from site evaluation through installation. You may pull permits as the property owner or allow their team to manage the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I integrate my 525 sq ft Phoenix Model mini home into a California ADU for post-fire housing?
The 525 sq ft Phoenix Model can be integrated as a legal Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) by placing it on a permanent perimeter foundation and connecting it to approved utilities (water, sewer/septic, and electric). Because the Phoenix Model is engineered to meet California fire, seismic, and energy codes, it is well-suited for post-fire housing and rebuild scenarios. Many California jurisdictions, including Los Angeles County, offer expedited review and flexible standards for fire-impacted properties, making ADU integration faster for wildfire survivors.
What permits or approvals are needed to install my California Round House mini home as an ADU after the LA fires?
You will typically need:
An expedited ADU building permit
Zoning clearance confirming ADU eligibility
Foundation and structural approval
Utility connection permits (water, sewer/septic, electric)
Final inspection and certificate of occupancy
For fire-impacted properties, Los Angeles County and many cities reduce or waive certain fees and fast-track permit review. California Round House can assist with documentation, engineering plans, and coordination with local building departments.
Are there specific safety or zoning standards my 525 sq ft mini home must meet for permanent ADU use in California?
Yes. To qualify as a permanent ADU, the Phoenix Model must comply with:
California Residential Code (CRC)
Title 24 energy requirements
Fire-resistant construction standards (including Class A roof materials)
Seismic and earthquake safety standards
Local zoning setbacks, height limits, and lot coverage rules
The Phoenix Model is engineered with fire-rated siding, a Class A roof, and seismic compliance, which helps meet these requirements, especially in wildfire-prone areas.
How do recent fire recovery laws impact building and placement of my tiny home as a legal ADU?
Recent California fire recovery laws provide significant benefits for wildfire survivors, including:
Fast-tracked ADU permits
Reduced or waived permitting fees
Relaxed zoning and setback requirements
Temporary and permanent ADU allowances during rebuilds
Extensions of up to 3–5 years for rebuilding timelines in designated fire zones
These laws are designed to help homeowners return to safe, permanent housing more quickly, and ADUs like the Phoenix Model are explicitly supported as part of recovery efforts.
What steps should I take to ensure my California Round House mini home complies with new ADU laws for wildfire survivors?
To ensure compliance:
Confirm zoning and ADU eligibility with your city or county before delivery
Work with California Round House to use approved plans and engineering
Apply for an expedited ADU permit under fire recovery provisions
Prepare the site properly, including foundation and utility hookups
Schedule inspections before occupancy
Request extensions if needed if your rebuild timeline exceeds standard limits
California Round House can manage the process from site evaluation through installation, or you may choose a hybrid or owner-builder approach.
