California has enacted a law in 2023 to facilitate the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). This law aims to reduce the upfront barriers faced by homeowners by requiring local governments to provide pre-approved ADU plans. Homeowners can have their permits approved in 30 days, compared to the previous 60 to 90 days. While using these plans incurs a fee ranging from $1,000 to $7,000, this is substantially lower than custom plans. The law aims to help individuals seeking multigenerational housing or investment opportunities.
The 2023 California law requires local governments to provide a slate of pre-approved ADU plans, significantly speeding up the permitting process to 30 days.
Under the law AB 1332, the costs for using pre-approved architectural plans range from $1,000 to $7,000, a significant drop compared to custom plan costs.
By reducing costs and construction timelines, California's interventions aim to alleviate the housing crisis by making it easier for homeowners to build ADUs.
The new regulations not only save homeowners money but also help streamline the building process, vital for addressing housing shortages.
