Welcome to episode 23 of the “Jose Luiz Morales Show.” This time, I’m joined by Aaron Norris of the Norris Group to talk about an important new bill recently passed by the state of California regarding accessory dwelling units (ADUs). This new bill affects homeowners and real estate investors alike, and there’s plenty of opportunity to be had by its passing.
Once again, I’ve provided timestamps from our interview below. You can browse specific topics at your leisure or watch the video in full:
1:45—The reasons behind this new bill
4:36—What an ADU is and which rules and regulations have changed
8:41—Why this new bill is good for investors
9:50—Size and building requirements for ADUs
14:14—Do ADUs have to be attached or detached?
16:05—ADUs can be bigger than 1,200 square feet, but only under certain circumstances
17:50—When you can have multiple ADUs on one property
19:30—Fee restrictions
20:55—Parking restrictions
23:20—Important questions to ask before building an ADU
24:49—How long does the city have to respond to your permit application?
26:07—Why you must make sure your ADU is structurally sound
27:07—What happens when this bill expires in 10 years?
28:35—Why you should find out if your city is for or against ADUs
30:15—Are there any incentives to use ADUs to provide low-income housing?
31:31—Wrapping things up
Stay tuned for the next video I feature Aaron on where we’ll talk about another important topic: rent control. In the meantime, if you have any questions for me about this or any other real estate topic, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to help you.
