ADUs in Columbus Face Utility Cost Hurdle | Columbus News

Columbus just released a new ADU handbook to simplify building accessory dwelling units—smaller homes on your property—with clear rules, graphics, and practical guidance. Thanks to new legislation, the process is now less bureaucratic, and advocates applaud the city’s effort. But there’s a catch: connecting ADUs to utilities here is way more expensive than elsewhere, due to city code requiring separate lines. This cost hurdle could make ADUs unaffordable for many, even as the city signals it’s open to reviewing the issue.
