Sacramento FAQ

Can I add a second story to my Sacramento home?

Yes, subject to FAR, height, setbacks, and any historic overlay rules. Larger second story additions can require neighbor notice and design review under Title 17.

Do SB 9 lot splits override mansionization rules?

SB 9 limits some local rules but allows objective standards on size and design. Sacramento applies its FAR and lot-coverage limits to SB 9 projects within the bounds permitted by state law.
