The Village of Skokie is considering changes to the Village Code that would allow and regulate accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on certain residential properties.

An ADU is a smaller, independent residential unit located on the same property as a primary home. Examples include a backyard cottage, an apartment above a detached garage, or an addition to an existing home.

In considering these changes, the Village Board is seeking additional community input. Please share your feedback by completing this survey by Wednesday, October 28:
