California Permit Friendliness Index
Report in development
This page reserves the HPC address for our analysis of the HABU California Permit Friendliness Index 2026.
The index is a comparative public-data signal across HABU's 188-jurisdiction California target set. It is not a live permit tracker and does not report application status, processing time, or project outcomes.
The complete article will appear here after the canonical HABU report, reviewed data snapshot, methodology, and limitations are ready for publication.
