The Town of Huntsville announced today the launch of its new Secondary Residential Dwelling Units (SRDU) program, which offers property owners a simple way to add dwelling units to their residential land. The program includes six comprehensive, pre-approved building design packages. 

Secondary Residential Dwelling Units are independent living spaces that include their own kitchen and bathroom. They can be located within the main home or in a detached structure on the same property and are typically found on lots with a single-detached, semi-detached, or townhouse dwelling.

The pre-approved packages offer a variety of design options, unit sizes and floor plans (ranging in size from 250 to 600 square feet for a single-storey unit and 800 square feet for an above-the- garage-unit) and a range of package fees.
