Summary

SB 1117 changes how local agencies charge fees for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior ADUs. Units 750 sq ft (ADU) or 500 sq ft (JADU) or smaller can’t be hit with impact fees, and larger ADUs are only charged on space beyond 750 sq ft, proportionate to the main house. The bill also restricts utility connection fees unless the unit is built with a new single‑family home.
