Are the Affordable Homeownership units monitored?
Yes. The County is very serious about ensuring that Owners remain in compliance with the provisions of their restrictive covenant. As a homeowner in the County of Santa Barbara’s Affordable Housing Program, you have responsibilities relative to preserving the affordability of your unit for the respective income category. Each year owners are required to complete and submit annual surveys or certifications regarding occupancy, financing, and compliance. Our department reserves the right to conduct arbitrary site visits to your home.
