Introduced·1/7/26
Bill Text

Kentucky HB204 establishes duplexes as a permitted use in all residential zones without additional permitting or review.

Kentucky HB204 creates a new section in the Kentucky Revised Statutes to define a duplex as a residential structure with two separate dwelling units, each with its own entrance. The bill mandates that duplexes be considered a permitted use in all residential zones, exempting them from additional permitting or review beyond that required for single-family homes. It also prohibits planning units from enacting regulations that prohibit duplexes, impose more restrictive requirements than those on single-family homes, or assess additional fees.
