Massachusetts ADU Law Update

2024 MA ADU Act: Major New Rights for Homeowners

The 2024 Massachusetts ADU Act significantly expanded homeowner rights to build accessory dwelling units. Most single-family zoned properties in Massachusetts can now build an ADU by right — without requiring a special permit or variances that were previously required.

  • ✓ ADUs of up to 900 sq ft or half the primary dwelling allowed by-right on most SF lots
  • ✓ Both attached and detached ADUs permitted statewide
  • ✓ Owner-occupancy requirements restricted in many cases
  • ✓ Local zoning cannot prohibit what state law permits
  • ✓ Expands rental income opportunities for MA homeowners significantly
  • ✓ Our Property Analysis Tool incorporates current 2024 MA ADU Act standards
