Builder's Remedy

What is the builder’s remedy?

The Housing Accountability Act, Government Code Section 65589.5 (the “HAA”), includes a special provision [Government Code Section 65589.5(d)], colloquially referred to as the “builder’s remedy”, to encourage housing production that takes effect when a City’s Housing Element is out of compliance. Under the HAA, the City of Laguna Hills adopted a substantially compliant Housing Element update on June 28, 2022.
