Milton homeowners have filed 15 ADU applications this year, up from 9 at this point in 2025.
- Pace: 15 applications from Jan 1 through Oct 13, against 9 by the same date in 2025. The count covers applications filed under the town's ADU category; a few ADUs filed as additions or renovations are not included.
- Cost: declared costs for this year's 14 filings that list one run from $9,000 to $900,000, with a median of about $150,000
- What changed: ADUs, small second homes on a house lot, have been allowed by right in Massachusetts since February 2025.
- Correction: An earlier version gave approximate counts from a broader keyword search (about 19 this year and 17 last year). This version uses the town's own ADU category.
