Thanks to a new statewide law (HB 24‑1152) that takes effect June 30, 2025, Colorado homeowners in metro and larger communities—including Colorado Springs—must now be allowed to add one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to any single-family lot where homes are already permitted.
Locally, Colorado Springs City Council adopted an updated ADU ordinance on April 8, 2025 (Ord. #25‑45), allowing attached, integrated, or detached “tiny homes” up to 50% of the primary home’s size (max 1,250 sq ft), with clear rules on setbacks, height (max 16 ft for detached; garage conversions up to 25 ft), parking, and wildfire zones.
The law also removes prohibitions from HOAs and reduces costs via fee waivers, grants, and low-cost financing to encourage ADU building, making it easier to create affordable, multi-generational or rental housing.
Whether you’re considering one for rental income, housing aging parents, or boosting future resale—the new ADU law is a game‑changer.
As your trusted local resource, I’m here to walk you through regulations, design options, and financing. Reach out anytime with questions or to explore how an ADU could work for your property.
