Tax will go up 5000 a year if your ADU gets appraised for $400k

Great video, thank you. How can we get more states to approve these new laws? Thankfully California is leading the way!

My landlord said she’s removing our garage and turning it into a ADU, she’s increasing the rent taking away space. 4 bedroom house will now be a 6. Plus having a stranger living with us with a just a wall separating us is not giving us peace of mind. Streets are already flooded with cars after 6PM here in Soledad.

can you explain what do you mean sb897 and ab2221 are "on the horizon"? I thought they already passed and were in effect?

In California, the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) offers a grant program to help homeowners finance the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units. The grant can provide up to $40,000 to help with pre-development and closing costs. To apply for the grant, you must: Be a homeowner in California Own a single-family home Meet any income limits Gather required documents, including: Proof of income Recent utility bills Tax returns Scope of work for your ADU project Complete the application process Await confirmation If approved, the grant funds will be placed into an escrow account. You can use the funds to pay approved third-party vendors throughout the project. What the grant can be used for Pre-development costs, such as site prep, architectural designs, permits, and soil tests Non-recurring closing costs Buying down the interest rate on loans What happens if you receive the grant? You will receive a 1099 from CalHFA for the year the grant funds were wired into escrow You may need to pay taxes on the grant funds the following year Other financing options You can also use other financing options to fund an ADU, such as: A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), Home Equity Loan, Cash-Out Refinance, and 203k Loan. Cities and localities across California may also offer special ADU grant or loan programs

Is California allowing ADU's to be a separate property. What I mean can the landlord subdivide his property into a owner occupied main building and an ADU and then sell off the ADU

That is correct. You can sell the ADU as a separate property now under CA-AB 1033. However, you do not need to subdivide the land first. You can sell the ADU, but before the close of escrow, a mini 'HOA' must be created that outines the usage laws/rules for the land between the two owners.

I wonder if the senior communities run by HOA can restrict ADU's.

Likely no, HOA and senior communities are fairly strict about building.

In California, HOAs can no longer ban ADUs but can put restrictions.

Yes besides many HOAs have very little space leftover for An ADU. We can’t entirely dump the fire code restrictions. ADUs are fine but really do not handle affordable housing problems does it?

Can you build an ADU before you build a main house? If we are allowed to build an ADU prior to building the main house, do we need plans for the main house prior to building an ADU. and how much time do we have to live in the ADU?
@smellison09
@smellison09 5 ай бұрын
in our area, it is possible, but you will definitely want to check your specific cities restrictions. Every city has different laws around ADUs.

Hi Shannon, what is your area/ County? I’m wondering if in Santa Cruz County if I find the right Lot/ zoning, I can just build all ADU’s on their for maximum rental income ? Are people doing this and making bank?

Anyone that can squeeze one of these into their property will do it. This will destroy neighborhoods if allowed. HOA's need to adapt rules NOW to make them illegal!
