El Dorado County (June 3, 2024) – El Dorado County has approved a new rule allowing residents to build tiny homes on their properties, aiming to support those struggling to rebuild after natural disasters. This initiative, championed by local advocates like Matt who has built sheds for his community, provides a cost-effective housing solution for uninsured or underinsured property owners. The rule permits the construction of homes up to 750 square feet without the need for solar panels or sprinkler systems, and all associated fees are waived. This change is seen as a significant improvement by residents who have been living in RVs, offering them a more permanent and comfortable living situation. The county’s move underscores its commitment to aiding displaced residents and ensuring they are not forgotten.
