The 2021 ADU law (Public Act 21-29, HB 6107) made accessory dwelling units allowable as of right statewide: attached or detached, up to 1,000 sq ft or 30% of the main dwelling, without a special zoning hearing. Municipalities were allowed to opt out and about 115 of 169 towns did, leaving 54 subject to the state provision; most opt-out towns still permit ADUs under their own local rules. Local zoning, setbacks, and utility rules still apply — run your site through the zoning lookup and we'll tell you plainly what works.

The median home price in Connecticut is ~US$455K. Our flagship model, the Vale, starts at $119,900 CAD — a fraction of a conventional build (US pricing confirmed at your consultation).

Municipalities could opt out, though, and roughly 115 of Connecticut's 169 towns did, leaving 54 subject to the state provision.
