HB05507

An Act Promoting The Development Of Accessory Dwelling Units.

Introduced·3/5/26

Connecticut HB05507 promotes the development of accessory dwelling units, updating terminology and regulations.

Connecticut HB05507 changes the term "accessory apartments" to "accessory dwelling units" in state statutes. It repeals certain provisions that allowed municipalities to impose restrictions on these units, such as requiring fire sprinklers or passageways. The bill mandates that accessory dwelling units must meet specific standards, including a minimum net floor area and compliance with building codes. It also allows municipalities to opt-out of certain provisions with specific conditions.
