HB 878 modifies zoning and land-use regulations to promote higher residential density in large municipalities and counties. It restricts local governments from imposing excessive minimum lot sizes, setback requirements, or parking mandates. It also protects property owners' ability to construct accessory dwelling units on lots zoned for single-family residences and ensures streamlined permitting processes. Some provisions are effective September 1, 2025, with additional rules taking effect September 1, 2027.
