New laws could bring more backyard homes to Maryland and Virginia

New state laws are making it easier to build ADUs across Maryland and Virginia. Why it matters: The push for more local ADUs — accessory dwelling units, or small housing units built on the same land as a bigger home — comes as the region sees a housing crunch . Driving the news: As of this month, Maryland jurisdictions are required to have adopted laws allowing the construction of ADUs on properties with single-family homes. And a law taking effect in Virginia next summer requires that local governments allow ADUs to be built by-right on single-family lots. State of play: Some localities, including Montgomery County, Arlington and Alexandria, had already allowed ADUs under their own rules. The state laws could have a bigger impact in places like Prince George's and Prince William counties. Meanwhile, ADUs have been allowed in D.C. for about a decade. What they're saying: Interest in building ADUs in Maryland has picked up since the new legislation's deadline was announced, says Pavel Kazenkov, founder of Capital ADU , which builds these structures in the DMV. He anticipates the same happening in Virginia next year. "Most people don't realize that they can even do this," he says. "So
