California's SB9 law is a game-changer for property owners, allowing up to four homes in single-family zones.
Eligibility requirements include: property must be in a single-family zone, owner must have owned for 3+ years, and the property cannot be in a historic district.
The implementation process involves lot splitting, each new parcel must be at least 1,200 sq ft, and you can build up to 4 units per parcel.
This presents significant opportunities for investors and homeowners looking to maximize property value. SB9 has become one of the most powerful tools in California real estate.
