Type your Whatcom County address. We pull the lot and zoning from public county maps, place ADUs on a site plan, and then walk you step by step through selling or renting the finished units. ADU rules are built in for the City of Bellingham only; other cities need their rules checked by hand.

📍 Now live for Whatcom County, Washington only. Other counties are coming.

Automate your ADUs on any site

Type a Whatcom County address. In a few minutes ADU Math pulls the parcel and zoning, draws a site plan with 1 to 3 ADUs that fit the setbacks, and builds a full ROI to sell or rent. Every number is editable, there's a sensitivity page, and the whole thing prints to a clean PDF.

Lot, zoning, and value data come from Whatcom County public GIS and Assessor records and may be out of date. Aerial photo: Whatcom County 2024 imagery. Sale values here are your own estimates; no comparable sales are included. ADU rules are coded for the City of Bellingham only.
