HB24-1152

Let some ADUs get built

State: Colorado

Status: Enacted ✅

Formal Title: An act concerning increasing the number of accessory dwelling units.

Summary: The bill requires subject jurisdictions (municipalities with 1,000+ population and counties with census-designated places of 10,000+ within metropolitan planning organizations) to allow one ADU per single-family lot through an administrative approval process, prohibiting certain restrictions. It creates an incentive program certifying ADU-supportive jurisdictions, which can receive grants for promoting ADU construction. The bill also establishes an ADU loan program and prevents HOAs and planned unit developments from restricting ADUs more than local law.
