Accessory Dwelling Unit Information

What is an ADU?

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a dwelling located on the same lot as a single-family home.  Think an apartment with its own independent facilities for cooking, bathing, and sleeping.  It can be part of the home or in a separate structure (existing or new).  There are size limits, but it is a great way to create more housing - for rental income or for a family member.  Also referred to as accessory apartments, ADUs do not require complicated permitting.  A State water/wastewater permit and a Town zoning permit are generally all that is required.
