New California HOA Laws in 2026: What Homeowners Need to Know

California passed several new laws effective January 1, 2026 that directly impact homeowners living in HOA-governed communities. This episode breaks down the key changes—from mandatory balcony inspection disclosures to disaster rebuild protections to EV charger approvals—and explains what they mean for homeowners and boards alike. The video covers four major laws now in effect: SB 410 (balcony and structural inspection disclosure requirements), SB 625 (protections for homeowners rebuilding after declared disasters), SB 770 (removal of insurance technicalities blocking EV charger installations), and SB 543 (expanded junior ADU protections that override HOA restrictions). Also discussed are several pending bills likely to be voted on in 2026, including proposed changes to CC&R restrictions on housing development, document delivery requirements, and financial transparency rules. A consistent theme across these laws: Sacramento is closing loopholes that HOAs have historically used to delay, deny, or complicate homeowner rights. State law continues to take precedence over conflicting CC&R provisions in these areas. This episode is California-specific. Homeowners in other states may see similar trends, as legislative momentum around HOA reform continues to grow nationally.
