Summary of Executive Order: Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction
Updated 03/23/2026
This Executive Order (EO) aims to address factors that may be raising construction costs and suppressing supply. Areas in focus include environmental and infrastructure-related regulation, programs, and rules, including rules for historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and supporting infrastructure. The Topics considered include permitting timelines, capped fees, more by-right single-family development, third-party inspections, fewer retroactive code changes, fewer energy-choice mandates, modular and manufactured housing, and fewer limits on development beyond urban cores such as growth boundaries and moratoria. The Order also addresses an increase in federal incentives with new construction.
