Land use: zoning and growth management; accessory dwelling units; allow to connect to the sewer connection servicing the primary dwelling unit. Amends 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3101 - 125.3702) by adding sec. 205e.
This bill prevents local zoning laws from stopping owners from connecting their accessory dwelling units to the same sewer system as their main home. It applies specifically to secondary living spaces that are owned by the same person and located on the same property as the primary residence. By adding a new section to the state's zoning enabling act, the legislation ensures municipalities cannot restrict this utility connection under these conditions. The change aims to simplify infrastructure setup for homeowners who build or rent out additional units on their land.
