Does the homeowner need to live on the property to build an ADU?

The answer depends on where you live.

Some Rhode Island ADU pathways specifically reference owner-occupied properties, while Massachusetts’ newer statewide ADU regulations may offer more flexibility in certain situations.

Because every municipality can have its own rules, it’s important to verify local requirements before making plans.

Massachusetts is seeing a major rise in ADUs 🏡

According to a recent Boston 25 News report, the state is experiencing a surge in accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as lawmakers continue pushing for more affordable and flexible housing solutions.

For many homeowners, ADUs are creating opportunities for:
• Aging parents
• Adult children returning home
• Rental income
• Multigenerational living

As demand for housing continues to grow across New England, ADUs are becoming an increasingly important option for families looking to maximize their property and create additional living space.

Do you need special zoning approval to build an ADU?

In many cases, no. 👀

Massachusetts now allows certain ADUs “by right,” meaning homeowners may not need a special permit if the project meets state and local requirements.

Rhode Island also requires municipalities to permit ADUs under certain conditions, although site plans, setbacks, utilities, and code compliance may still apply.

Every property is different, but ADUs are becoming more accessible than ever across RI & MA.
