ADU rules in Middlesex County

Building an ADU by right in Middlesex County.

Under the Massachusetts Affordable Homes Act (effective February 2, 2025), a single ADU of up to 900 sq ft is allowed by right in single-family zoning districts — including throughout Middlesex County — with no special permit required. Standard building permits and local dimensional rules still apply, and we manage the Middlesex County permitting process on your behalf.

Homeowners across Middlesex County — in Framingham, Lincoln, Sudbury, Wayland, Maynard and beyond — are using ADUs to house family, generate rental income, and add long-term value. We tailor each Middlesex County ADU to the lot, the existing home, and local building requirements.

Your options

ADU types we build in Middlesex County.

Detached ADU

Attached ADU

A new addition connected to your existing home, such as an in-law suite with its own entrance, kitchen, and bath.

Conversion ADU

Converting existing space — a garage, basement, or attic — into a fully independent dwelling unit.
