Navigating the New Frontier: California's ADU Laws in 2024

Welcome to the evolving world of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in California! At ADORE Homes, we're excited about the 2024 legislative changes that are set to transform how homeowners think about and build ADUs.

AB 1033 now allows ADUs to be sold separately from the primary residence in participating jurisdictions. This is a game-changer for homeowners looking to build equity through ADU construction.

SB 897 has updated size and height limits, allowing taller ADUs in many areas and increasing maximum square footage allowances. This opens the door to more spacious, livable units.

Permit processing times have been further streamlined. Local agencies now have just 60 days to approve or deny ADU permit applications, down from previous timelines.

Impact fee exemptions have been expanded for ADUs under 750 square feet, making smaller units even more affordable to build.

At ADORE Homes, we stay on top of every legislative change so you don't have to. Our team ensures your project complies with the latest regulations while maximizing your options.
