Why Now

Ventura County is in a development surge

California's housing laws have opened massive opportunities for property owners. The window is open — but only for those who move fast with the right entitlement strategy.

SB 9 — State Law

Lot Splits Are Now Legal on Most SFR Lots

Senate Bill 9 allows urban lot splits and two-unit developments on single-family parcels statewide. We're Ventura County's local expert for SB9 approvals in Oxnard, Ventura, and the entire county.

ADU Law — California

ADU Rules Are the Most Permissive in History

California's ADU laws have dramatically reduced barriers to adding rental units. Most Ventura County lots now qualify. We've completed hundreds of ADU entitlements and know every city's requirements.
