San Jose becomes 1st in CA to allow property owners to sell ADUs - ABC7 San Francisco

San Jose became the first city in California to opt into AB 1033, authored by Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), which allows property owners to sell their accessory dwelling units (ADUs) separately from their main home. “With this less expensive housing option available, increased home ownership can help build stronger communities.”. “We need to keep the American Dream alive by bringing the innovation inherent to our region into our housing policy, and this new ordinance does just that.

San Jose will continue to lead the way, but we can’t solve this crisis alone – I am looking forward to seeing other California cities follow suit.”.

“I thank the City of San Jose for seeing the impact that my legislation could have across their neighborhoods.
