HCD reviews ADU ordinances for compliance with State ADU Law. Once reviewed, HCD sends an ADU Ordinance Findings Letter.
Jurisdictions are required to provide a response letter to HCD within 30 days of HCD’s ADU Ordinance Review Letter. The spreadsheet indicates whether a response letter was received.
