AB 557 – Faster Permits for Factory-Built Homes

AB 253 gives homeowners and developers the right to hire a certified third-party to review plans if the local agency misses its 30-day deadline. It's an urgency law that keeps housing projects on track.

It’s one of the most practical solutions to long permit delays—and helps ensure that city staffing shortages or backlog don’t bring progress to a halt. Projects can keep moving, and homeowners aren’t left in limbo.
