SB-684: Faster Permits for 2-10 Unit Projects Than Single-Family Homes

[Felicia Nitu]

SB-684 streamlines permitting by allowing eligible 2 to10 unit developments to receive ministerial approval. As long as projects meet zoning and unit requirements, developers can secure permits faster than they would for a single-family home.

More ways SB-684 benefits developers and homeowners:

// Efficiency & Speed
· Eliminates discretionary reviews that slow down approvals
· Reduces bureaucratic delays for multi-unit housing

// Predictable Approval Process
· Provides clear, objective criteria for project qualification
· Lowers risk of rejection compared to traditional permit routes

How can real estate agents and investors benefit?
Faster approvals mean more multi-unit projects hitting the market sooner, creating more inventory for agents to sell and more opportunities for investors to generate rental income or flip properties for a profit.
