Land Use - Accessory Dwelling Units - Requirements and Prohibitions (Maryland Generational Housing Act of 2026)

Summary

The bill directs every county and municipality to adopt a local ordinance by Oct. 1, 2026 that allows homeowners to build one internal and one external accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on a lot with a single‑family detached house. The ADUs would be excluded from density limits, face limited parking requirements, and could share utility meters with the main house. It also bars utility providers and local governments from imposing certain fees or taxes on these ADUs and exempts them from property tax.
