Accessory Apartment Permit Application
This application is a request for installation of an accessory apartment in a single-family dwelling. Because rental licenses are now being reviewed for compliance with the Zoning Regulations, additional information is needed before the license is issued.
New rental license applications must obtain zoning approval from the Department of Planning and Zoning prior to being submitted to the Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits. Renewals may be submitted directly to the Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits. Accessory apartments that will not be rented must also comply with this requirement.
In accordance with recently adopted legislation (CB3-2026), changes to the accessory apartment permit will be effective on April 8th, 2026. Changes to the application include the allowance of detached accessory dwelling units. Please reach out to the Planning and Zoning department if you have questions of these changes to come.
