"An effort is underway to rewrite the county's ordinance for accessory dwelling units to allow owners to sell the units as condos in unincorporated areas, a policy shift made possible by a new state law looking to boost homeownership through ADUs. If adopted, San Diego County would be the second county in California, after San Francisco, to opt into an ADU sales program under the 2023 law known as Assembly Bill 1033."
"A handful of other cities like Santa Cruz and San Jose have opted in, and the city of San Diego backed an identical measure as a part of a package of reforms to its ADU rules in June. Still new, the incentive has so far seen limited success in San Jose, where only one ADU has been sold as a condo since the city became the first to authorize such sales last July."
"A county analysis of the update noted formal conversion of ADUs into condos could take up to two to three years. That's due to lengthy timelines required to comply with state requirements for private access, off-street parking and utility connections. Vince Nicoletti, the county's director of planning and development services, said time will tell how ADU sales pan out in the unincorporated areas."
Unincorporated San Diego County is experiencing an accessory dwelling unit boom and officials propose allowing ADUs to be sold as separate condominiums. The change is enabled by 2023 Assembly Bill 1033 and would make San Diego County the second county in California to opt into an ADU sales program after San Francisco. Cities including Santa Cruz and San Jose have opted in, and the city of San Diego approved a similar measure in June. San Jose has recorded only one ADU condo sale so far. County analysis estimates formal conversions may take two to three years because of private access, off-street parking, and utility requirements. The county planning commission will vote on the update and the Board of Supervisors will consider it in March.
