RHODE ISLAND’s EAST BAY CUSTOM HOME & ADU FAQ’s

  • Recent landmark state laws make it much easier to build accessory dwelling units on single-family lots in Rhode Island. However, local setbacks, lot coverage limits, and utility hookups still vary by municipality in towns like East Providence, Barrington, Warren, Bristol, Little Compton and Tiverton. We handle all local zoning approvals for you.
