Senate Bill 9 (SB 9)
The Law Explained | What/Where Can I Build?
SB 9 gives you the right to build on your property. We give you the know-how, financing, and construction to make it happen.
Senate Bill 9, also called the California
Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency
(HOME) Act, is state law that enables and
streamlines the process for homeowners to
split their single-family residential lot into two
separate lots, and build up to two new housing
units on each.
You have 3 options for an SB 9 project:
Opt 1: Lot Split
Divide your lot into two parcels; you get a new lot to sell or develop
Your lot must be at least 2,400 sq.ft. and can be divided 50/50 or 60/40
Opt 2: Two-Units
Keep your parcel as is and add up to 2 units total, plus ADUs & JADUs allowed by zoning standards
