How much does an ADU cost in Fresno?

As of October 2026, no published guide tracks Fresno ADU prices on their own. Block Renovation's 2026 Sacramento guide, the closest Central Valley benchmark we found, puts detached ADUs at $150,000 to $300,000 or more and garage conversions at $80,000 to $150,000. Free city plans can lower design costs.
