Get a preliminary read on what’s allowed - before you plan.

Hillside ordinances. Coastal review. Historic overlays. HOA exterior controls - and the California laws (solar rights, ADU rules) that limit what an HOA or city can say no to. We run a free preliminary read for your address - full HOA guidelines confirmed with your association - before you spend anything on plans.

Your free report covers

City rules & overlays - hillside, coastal-zone triggers, historic districts, and whether your idea needs discretionary review.
Your HOA - what its process looks like, and where state law overrides it (solar rights under Civil Code 714, ADU protections, and more).
What needs a professional - which parts of the idea will need engineered or stamped plans later.
Matching programs - every utility, city, and state program your project could qualify for, with honest notes on which are waitlisted.

One page, plain English, delivered to your inbox. If the idea has a problem, you find out now - not after you've paid for drawings.
