ADU rules in Western Connecticut, CT — also called accessory dwelling unit regulations or granny flat ordinances — cover setbacks, owner-occupancy, parking, and permit requirements.
Connecticut's 2021 zoning reform (PA 21-29) directs zoning towns to allow accessory dwelling units, though towns could opt out of the as-of-right default. Each Western Connecticut town sets ADU size, parking and owner-occupancy standards through its zoning.
