Accessory Dwelling Units in Taghkanic

ADUs in Taghkanic

In 2024 the Town Board passed two local laws updating the town Zoning Code. One of these, Local Law #2 2024, defines and allows for Accessory Dwelling Units. The permitting of ADUs was enacted so that Taghkanic residents would be eligible for NY State grant funding to help residents with the costs of building or restoring these structures.

The county applied for and has now been awarded a $3 Million ADU Grant. Residents of Columbia County, and in particular Taghkanic, are now eligible for individual grants of up to $125K to assist in the construction or remodeling of an ADU. Check HERE for details.
