Milton Bylaw Consistency
Milton Zoning Bylaw §275-10.13 · Last updated Pre-2025 (Town Meeting referred back to Planning Board)
Last reviewed: February 15, 2026
What This Means
Milton’s bylaw predates the state ADU law and has not been reconciled with G.L. c. 40A §3. Three provisions — owner-occupancy, family/caregiver restrictions, and the special permit requirement — are preempted by state law. Homeowners should cite G.L. c. 40A §3 if the town tries to enforce them.
