ABOUT SB 9
California Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) is a groundbreaking piece of legislation that was signed into law in 2021 to address the state's housing shortage and promote sustainable development. SB 9 focuses on two key aspects: property development and property subdivision, providing property owners with new opportunities to maximize the use and value of their land.
|
Property Development |
SB 9 allows property owners to build up to two additional dwelling units (ADUs) on their single-family residential lots, provided certain conditions are met. This means you can potentially expand your existing home or construct separate units, such as a guesthouse or rental unit, on your property. It's a game-changer for homeowners looking to create additional living spaces, generate rental income, or accommodate multigenerational households.
|
Property Sub-division |
One of the most significant aspects of SB 9 is its provisions for property subdivision. The legislation permits property owners to divide their residential lots into two equal-sized lots, potentially doubling the number of homes on their property. This paves the way for new housing options, such as duplexes or two single-family homes on what was once a single lot.
In summary, California SB 9 empowers property owners to make the most of their land, fostering housing development and innovation to address the state's housing challenges while providing valuable opportunities for individuals and families.
