Montana SB532 revises county zoning laws to allow for accessory dwelling units on single-family lots.
Montana SB532 revises county zoning laws to allow for accessory dwelling units on single-family lots. Counties must allow at least one accessory dwelling unit by right, which can be attached, detached, or internal to the main dwelling. Counties cannot impose more restrictive regulations on accessory units than on the main dwelling, such as higher building heights or larger lot sizes. Counties may charge a fee for reviewing applications to create accessory dwelling units, up to $250 per unit, but cannot require additional parking or fees in lieu of parking.
