Accessory Dwellings 
Hello, I’m a planner for the San Francisco Planning Department. We are working on promoting ADUs and just finished a handbook for the public. I’m wondering if I can reuse your ADU break even calculator spreadsheet to put up on our page. I’d need to change the base numbers so I won’t be able to directly link to what you have. I’m happy to give the credit to your website. Thank you!
Kimia, looks like you can download the spreadsheet itself, which you could then modify, from a link on this page. https://accessorydwellings.org/adu-breakeven-calculator/
Hi, I’m a researcher of real estate field in South Korea. I’m preparing an academic report about single-family housing market for a Journal. I wonder I can use your photos on your website to my report for the reference. Follow links are photos which I want to use. Thank you very much.

Hello Younsuk, re the photos on https://accessorydwellings.org/what-adus-are-and-why-people-build-them/ , the first one is creative commons licensed — you should be ok, but check this license text to be sure: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/. The second one on that page is by me personally — you have my permission to use it in an academic publication. Regarding the photos on https://accessorydwellings.org/2016/04/22/lisa-lonstrons-adu/ , you’re probably fine, but contact the author of that post, Lina, to be sure. She’s at accessorydwellings@gmail.com . Good luck! -Martin
Hi, thanks for this great site! I bought a house in Portland that pretty much has a (non-permitted) ADU in the basement. Are there any businesses/consultants you can recommend in Portland who will do the permitting process for you? Roughly, what would it cost to have someone do the permitting process for you (excluding the costs of any modifications that we’ll need to make)? Thanks!
