West Virginia HB4732 revises zoning laws to allow accessory dwelling units and sets regulations for municipalities.

West Virginia HB4732 amends municipal zoning laws to permit accessory dwelling units on lots with single-family dwellings. It mandates municipalities to allow at least one accessory dwelling unit by right and prohibits certain regulations, such as requiring a public hearing or additional parking. The bill sets guidelines for zoning regulations, including compatibility with nearby municipalities and ensuring accessory dwelling units are treated the same as other housing types. It also allows municipalities to charge a fee for reviewing applications and sets a maximum fee of $250 per unit.
