CA SB1383

Local agencies must post examples of complete, approved postentitlement phase permit applications for seven housing development types starting January 1, 2028: accessory dwelling units, junior accessory dwelling units, duplexes, multifamily, mixed-use, townhomes, and ministerially-approved two-unit developments under Section 65852.21.

Adds junior accessory dwelling units and SB 9-style ministerially-approved housing projects to the existing list of required example applications that local agencies must publish on their websites.

Agencies must determine application completeness within 15 business days and complete permit review within 30 business days for projects of 25 units or fewer, or 60 business days for larger projects.

Local agency failure to meet statutory timelines constitutes a violation of the Housing Accountability Act (Section 65589.5); state agency failure results in automatic permit approval.

No state reimbursement to local agencies is required because agencies may levy fees to cover implementation costs.
