"Thanks to a series of state laws passed several years ago, homeowners now have more control over what they can do with their property, and that includes building ADUs. Once considered a niche housing option, ADUs have become a vital part of the city's residential growth strategy. A combination of state housing reforms and local incentives has helped homeowners take the lead in producing new units."
"San Jose has openly embraced ADU production. This year, the city has issued permits for more than 400 ADUs. Most of these units are under 700 square feet. The city has also created an interactive dashboard to show progress. To assist homeowners, the city's website provides numerous resources, including pre-approved ADU designs and recommended vendors. Some projects can even receive same-day permitting."
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are a resilient part of San Jose's housing production due to state laws that expanded homeowner control over property use. State housing reforms and local incentives enable homeowners to build new units on existing lots, sometimes exempt from city fees. The city issued permits for more than 400 ADUs this year, most under 700 square feet, and created an interactive dashboard. The city's website provides pre-approved ADU designs, recommended vendors, and resources; some projects qualify for same-day permitting. Assembly Bill 1033 permits separate sales of ADUs, expanding ownership opportunities; selling an ADU requires separate utilities and condo conversion.
