FAQ
How long does a SB9 lot split project in Los Angeles usually take?
An SB9 lot split timeline in Los Angeles is the clock on a tentative map or urban lot split application, then conditions of approval, then recording. Building permits for a house on either lot start after that map is recorded. 121 Design Build in Encino keeps those two clocks separate so owners do not treat framing as the first milestone.
Direct answer
The SB9 lot split timeline is a map sequence, not a construction calendar.
SB9 lot split timeline Los Angeles is a Planning and Bureau of Engineering sequence. Survey and civil support the application. Review, hearings if required, and a list of conditions come next. Recording at the County is the moment one Encino lot becomes two. Only then does LADBS take a building permit on either parcel.
That is why this page is not a construction schedule. An SB9 two-unit or ADU clock is a later conversation. 121 Design Build can help sequence both without mixing them.

The map clock
Application, conditions, recording — then building permits.
Tentative map
The urban lot split / tentative map application cannot file until survey and civil are complete enough for Planning and BOE to read the cut.
Conditions
Conditions of approval — trees, access, utilities, bonding — sit between approval and recording. They are the usual source of idle time.
Then permits
Building permits are a different clock. They start after the map records. Call (424) 600-2100.
Recorded lots, then construction
Two Encino lots after the map records, not during framing.
121 Design Build is in Encino. An SB9 lot split timeline is framed around this address becoming two recorded lots, not around a framing calendar.
