HB1813

Illinois HB1813 allows municipalities to permit accessory dwelling units and regulate their size and location.

Illinois HB1813 amends the Illinois Municipal Code to allow municipalities to permit accessory dwelling units, which are residential units providing complete living facilities on the same parcel as a primary residence. The bill prohibits municipalities from banning these units and allows them to set reasonable regulations on size and location, similar to other accessory structures, unless such regulations effectively prohibit the units. This legislation limits home rule powers to ensure accessory dwelling units are not unduly restricted.
