FAQ

Common Questions, Answered Honestly

We believe in full transparency. Here are the questions every homeowner asks before starting their ADU project.

How long does it take to build an ADU in New Jersey? +
Most Jazz ADU projects are completed in 4–8 months from signed contract to certificate of occupancy. The permit phase typically takes 6–10 weeks depending on your municipality. Construction itself runs 10–16 weeks. Our 48-hour feasibility report gives you a project-specific timeline estimate.
Can I build an ADU anywhere in New Jersey? +
New Jersey's ADU law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-66.27) requires every municipality to permit ADUs, but each town has its own specific rules about size, setbacks, and owner-occupancy. Our permit specialists know every municipality in our service area and will confirm your property's exact requirements during the free eligibility check.
How much does it cost to build an ADU with Jazz? +
Costs vary based on ADU type, size, and finish level. Basement conversions start around $60,000 while detached cottages range from $180,000–$280,000. Every project is priced at a fixed amount in your contract — no change orders, no hidden fees. We provide a detailed written estimate after your eligibility check.
Does adding an ADU increase my property taxes? +
In most cases, yes — adding a permitted structure increases assessed value, which may modestly increase property taxes. However, the rental income generated almost always far exceeds any tax increase. Our feasibility report includes a net financial analysis specific to your municipality's tax rate so you can make an informed decision.
What financing options are available? +
Many homeowners use home equity loans, HELOCs, or cash-out refinancing to fund their ADU. We partner with several New Jersey lenders who specialize in ADU financing and can connect you with pre-qualified options. Some municipalities also offer grants or low-interest ADU loans for qualifying properties.
