Zoning: Zoning rules vary across California — Salinas allows ADUs in many residential areas while rural counties like Monterey may offer placement flexibility for park models; check with your county planning office before purchasing land.
Permits: Urban placements in Salinas generally require building permits for utility and septic connections; RVIA-certified park model homes may qualify for RV permits in rural county locations.
