Iowa SF592 regulates county and city policies on accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on single-family lots.

Iowa SF592 mandates that counties and cities allow at least one accessory dwelling unit on the same lot as a single-family residence, subject to specific conditions. Counties and cities cannot impose more restrictive regulations on ADUs than on single-family residences, including placement, appearance, and occupancy restrictions. The bill prohibits certain limitations, such as requiring additional parking, imposing different impact fees, or mandating new utility lines if full utility access can be provided.
