City of Sacramento - Building Electrification Requirements

The City of Sacramento requires that all new low-rise buildings (3 or fewer stories) with permit applications be all-electric. This requirement went into effect on January 1, 2023. After January 1, 2026, this extends to buildings with more than 3 stories. Resolution No. 2021-0166 requires all existing buildings to be all-electric by 2045. The City of Sacramento is currently in the process of developing a strategy to transition existing buildings to carbon-free electricity.
