ADA Compliance Escrows –

With California’s January 2026 ADA upgrade deadline approaching, property owners face fines up to $4,000 per violation. At Secured Trust Escrow, California’s leading ADA escrow provider, we’ve structured compliance accounts that:

  • Hold funds until inspectors certify accessibility upgrades
  • Manage contractor payments tied to milestone completions
  • Resolve disputes between landlords and tenants over cost allocations
  • Document compliance for legal protection

Why we excel: Our escrow officers include former CA building code inspectors who know ADA Title III inside-out.

San Francisco Retail Center Case Study (Hypothetical Scenario)

When a 50,000 sqft shopping center needed upgrades:

  1. Secured Trust escrowed $220,000 (10% of project cost)
  2. Released funds in phases:
    • 30% after ramp installations
    • 40% after restroom modifications
    • 30% after final city inspection
  3. Resolved $18,000 tenant-landlord dispute over parking lot slopes

The property passed inspection 3 months early, avoiding $75,000 in potential fines.
