In San Diego, you can get your plans approved and your permit issued, only to have the inspector ask for changes once construction starts. That's not how the permit process is supposed to work.

Waiting 60 days for a permit review doesn't just slow homeowners down. It makes the work harder for the city too, and one simple analogy explains why.

11/02/2026

Until now, getting a second ADU in California often meant permitting a garage first and converting it later. Under the new AB 956, you can go straight to two detached ADUs.

California gives cities 60 days to review an ADU permit. But many don't start the clock until they've formally accepted your application, which can take another month on its own.

Cross the wrong threshold on a small remodel or ADU and the city can make you rebuild the sidewalk in front of your home. It's called public improvements, and it can easily add $50,000 to a project.

10/25/2026

In a lot of California cities, building an ADU even one square foot over 750 triggered full impact fees of $5,000 to $50,000. A new state law is changing that.

10/23/2026

California's new AB 956 lets homeowners build two detached ADUs alongside their main home. That's three units on almost every residential lot, which effectively ends single-family zoning.

10/20/2026

A new California law makes cities give you a cost estimate for required sidewalk and infrastructure work within 30 days of applying for a permit. The catch is that the city's numbers rarely match what a contractor will actually charge.
