In 2017, a California law aimed at easing regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - basement suites, garage apartments, and backhouses - went into effect. The impact in Los Angeles was dramatic. Within two years, building permits for ADUs jumped by 30%, making up a significant one-fifth of all new housing permits issued.
The city streamlined the approval process, reducing fees and eliminating certain zoning restrictions. By simplifying the permitting requirements, Los Angeles made ADUs more accessible to a broader range of homeowners, encouraging greater participation in the program.
