Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

Boston allows homeowners to build independent living units, also known as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), on the property where they live once the design is approved. These additional units can be built inside of an existing home. In some cases, ADUs can also be built outside of an existing home, such as in a backyard. The City's ADU Guidebook can help homeowners understand what's possible for their property, and what to consider in the design process. For homeowners who qualify, we offer financial assistance to aid in the construction process.
