Bill Summary · SSB 1182

Overview: SSB 1182, A bill for an act relating to county and city regulation of accessory dwelling units, was introduced on February 25, 2025 and is currently in the committee report approving stage, having been renumbered as SF 592.

Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to establish statewide standards and limitations for how counties and cities can regulate accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which are secondary housing units on the same property as a primary residence.

Key Provisions:
- Prohibits counties and cities from imposing certain restrictions on the construction and use of ADUs, such as:
- Requiring the owner to occupy either the primary or accessory dwelling unit
- Limiting the size of an ADU to less than 800 square feet
- Requiring off-street parking for an ADU
- Allows counties and cities to impose reasonable regulations on ADUs, such as those related to health and safety, maximum occupancy, and aesthetic standards.
- Requires counties and cities to approve ADU applications that meet the established standards within 60 days.

Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would primarily affect homeowners who wish to construct ADUs, as well as county and city governments that currently have regulations on ADUs. It aims to increase the availability of affordable housing options by making it easier for homeowners to add ADUs to their properties.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill is currently in the committee report approving stage and has been renumbered as SF 592. The next step would be for the bill to be considered by the full legislature.
