ADU Design in Indiana: what governs your project
Indiana has no statewide ADU statute; ADU rules are set by cities, towns, and counties. Some municipalities permit accessory units while others prohibit them outright.
Energy code
Local plan review covers setbacks, lot coverage, and building permits. Impact fees, utility tap fees, and size or occupancy limits vary by jurisdiction.
Permitting & plan check
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security reviews building plans for Class 1 structures at the state level, which covers most commercial and multi-family construction. Local building departments issue permits and perform inspections under the Indiana Building Code. Filing with the state plan review office early is standard practice on commercial projects.
