Indiana's permitting process for ADUs is generally managed at the local level. Some cities have specific ordinances, while others may treat them as accessory structures requiring standard building permits. We help you understand the local rules. The housing stock in Indiana features many established neighborhoods with single-family homes, ideal for adding an ADU to increase property value or rental income.
