New California Law to Issue Housing Permits in 30 Days
California's new law AB 253 guarantees faster permitting for home builders by allowing them to hire licensed third-party professionals to review permits if local governments exceed a 30-day review timeline. This aims to reduce delays from months to about four weeks, helping smaller housing projects avoid costly setbacks and speeding up construction for projects with 10 units or fewer and up to four stories.
