What is SB 9 ordinance?

SB 9 California explained

​

Are you interested in SB 9 instead? What is SB 9? How would it work in a small or big lot? It’s a state bill that allows homeowners to add 2 Additional Dwelling units and one SB-9 House to single-family houses with specific requirements. It increases homeownership opportunities by allowing property owners in most areas of the state to divide their property into two lots; it also permits the construction of two homes on each of those lots, which has the effect of legalizing fourplexes in areas where only one home was previously permitted.

​

Simply put, you have 2 options with SB 9. Your first option is to divide your lot into 2 lots, in this case, each lot will contain 1 house and 1 Additional Dwelling unit (ADU). The Second option is Non-splitting SB-9 which will allow you to have 2 houses. SB 9 requirements may be different from one city to another call now (619) 450 9876 to schedule your site visit.
