What Sacramento HOA Boards Should Know
Apart from California law, associations are also governed by local regulations. In Sacramento, these are some of the most notable ones boards must understand.
Protected Trees
Sacramento requires permits for certain work on protected trees. Native species, including Valley Oak and California Sycamore, are generally protected at 12 inches DSH. Most trees on apartments, commercial or industrial properties, and undeveloped land are protected at 24 inches DSH, while homes and duplexes follow different rules.
For your board: identify protected trees before approving major landscaping or construction.
Tree Permit Requirements
Tree permit applications are generally processed within 10 business days, but times can still vary. An approved permit is required before regulated work begins. Violations involving protected trees can carry administrative penalties ranging from $250 to $25,000. Civil or criminal consequences may also apply.
For your board: include permit reviews in project schedules and confirm that contractors are aware of these requirements.
Rental Housing Inspections
Owners must register covered rental properties with the city. Properties that qualify for self-certification must conduct inspections annually and whenever there’s a change in tenancy. The city randomly reinspects at least 10% of self-certified properties each year.
For your board: rental owners are generally responsible for their own compliance, but common areas are included in the inspection, so boards must keep these spaces well-maintained.
Nonfunctional Turf in HOA Common Areas
California is phasing out the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf. The restriction specifically applies to common areas maintained by HOAs, with the deadline for compliance on January 1, 2029.
For your board: identify decorative grass in common areas that may qualify as nonfunctional turf. Start planning landscape conversions before the 2029 deadline.
