Council President Fani-González and Councilmember Friedson introduced a bill on September 15 to modernize Montgomery County's Accessory Dwelling Unit policies, co-sponsored by eight additional councilmembers. The bill would eliminate the owner-occupancy requirement and waive county licensing fees for ADUs whose owners agree to charge rent affordable to households earning 65% or less of area median income for at least 10 consecutive years. Since 2019, only 222 ADUs have been permitted in the county.
