Idaho S1277 revises laws to allow accessory dwelling units and prohibits restrictive covenants against them.
Idaho S1277 amends existing law to allow for accessory dwelling units, defined as self-contained living units with cooking, sleeping, and sanitation facilities, located within a primary dwelling or its garage. The bill prohibits local governments from banning these units and restricts homeowner associations from imposing unreasonable limitations. It mandates local governments to allow one accessory dwelling unit on lots up to one acre and two units regardless of lot size if one is internal. The bill also prohibits certain restrictions on height, setbacks, and density for these units.
