Columbus has expanded its ADU permitting program significantly since 2023. The city permits ADUs on most R-1, R-2, and R-3 zoned lots with proper setbacks. Suburb implementations (Dublin, Westerville, Pickerington) follow similar rules with varying permit timelines. Rural Franklin, Delaware, Licking, and Pickaway counties permit HUD-certified manufactured homes on permanent foundations as primary dwellings with minimal zoning friction.
