AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 25 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HOUSING.
Summary
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs), also known as in-law units or garage apartments, are valuable and convenient forms of housing that can help to increase Delaware’s housing supply. In order to expand affordable housing opportunities, this Act requires local governments to permit the construction of ADUs within their jurisdictions without prohibitive barriers or onerous application or zoning requirements. This Act carries a 2/3 vote requirement as it may indirectly affect municipal charters.
