Reasonable accommodation

Policies and procedures can be adjusted through a reasonable accommodation to ensure fair housing access.

This process is strictly for the siting, development, and use of housing (such as zoning and land-use exceptions), not for tenant-landlord disputes.

You may request a reasonable accommodation to rules, practices and procedures for the siting, development and use of housing, including housing related services or facilities, if you meet all of the following criteria:

  • You have a disability* or the housing is for people with disabilities,
  • You may need a reasonable accommodation to existing rules and regulations to have equal opportunity to housing, and
  • Your request for accommodation would not be an undue financial or administrative burden on the County.

*Under the law, a disability is a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activities; a record of having such an impairment; or being regarding as having such an impairment.

If you believe that you satisfy the above criteria and are entitled to a reasonable accommodation under federal and state fair housing laws, you may submit a reasonable accommodation request using the form below.

Are you a tenant? If you are requesting a reasonable accommodation regarding a lease, rental property rules, or landlord dispute, do not use this form. Instead, please contact the Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California using their intake form.
