Housing Laws Guide

Purpose
The legal landscape for local land-use policy and regulation is changing at an increasingly rapid pace. Amid the statewide housing crisis, California legislature has been issuing a record number of bills modifying the land-use parameters of local jurisdictions.

The San Joaquin Valley Guide to Recent California Housing Laws (“Guide”) summarizes recent California State laws, specifically within the last five years, that are most relevant to the San Joaquin Valley communities. The Guide is intended to provide an understanding of the today’s legal framework for the planning of housing within the San Joaquin Valley.
