CALIFORNIA HOUSING LAWS
Your lot can do more than you think.
New state laws let owners split lots, add units and build faster. We check what your property qualifies for, then design, permit and build it.
SB 9
Lot Splits & Duplexes
Split a single-family lot in two and build up to two homes on each, approved by staff without a public hearing. Now applies in charter cities, with a 60-day approval deadline.
SB 684 · SB 1123
Starter Home Act
Build up to 10 homes on up to 10 small lots with staff-level approval, on multifamily and single-family zoned land.
SB 423 · SB 35
Streamlined Approval
Qualifying multifamily projects with affordable units get staff-level approval without CEQA review, in cities that are behind on housing goals. Extended through 2036.
ADU & JADU LAWS
More Units, Fewer Rules
No owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs, and up to eight detached ADUs on a multifamily property (SB 1211).
AB 1033
Sell Your ADU
In cities that opt in, an ADU can be sold separately as a condo. Berkeley, San Francisco and San Jose have adopted it.
SB 79
Transit-Area Density
Allows more homes near major transit, including on small lots that used to be single-family only.
FASTER PERMITS
State Shot Clocks
New deadlines for plan review and final inspections on small projects, so cities can’t sit on your permit.
Eligibility depends on your city, zoning and lot. Rules change often, so we confirm them for your address before you commit.
