Why HB24-1152 is a Game-Changer for Colorado Housing – And How TinyMod® is Ready to Help

Affordable housing has become a major challenge for Colorado residents. As communities across the state face rising home prices and limited rental options, finding innovative solutions has never been more critical. House Bill 24-1152 (HB24-1152), signed into law in May 2024, brings exciting opportunities for homeowners and renters alike through the promotion of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). At TinyMod®, we’re thrilled to support this forward-thinking legislation and help Coloradans access affordable, sustainable housing solutions.

What is HB24-1152 and Why Does it Matter?

HB24-1152 mandates that local governments in qualifying jurisdictions must allow homeowners to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their property starting June 30, 2025. For those unfamiliar, ADUs are small, independent housing units located on the same lot as a primary home. Think basement apartments, backyard cottages, or converted garages.

The bill aims to:

1. Ease Housing Shortages: ADUs create additional housing without requiring new neighborhoods or massive construction projects.
2. Support Homeowners: ADUs offer homeowners the chance to generate rental income or provide housing for family members.
3. Increase Affordability: State funding, financial incentives, and reduced fees will help lower the cost of building ADUs.

HB24-1152 not only provides homeowners with the right to build ADUs but also prohibits restrictive local laws and HOA rules that limit their construction. This opens the door for property owners across Colorado to embrace affordable housing solutions.

Why TinyMod® Supports HB24-1152

At TinyMod®, we believe that small, smart spaces are the future of housing. HB24-1152 aligns perfectly with our mission to make affordable, high-quality ADUs accessible to homeowners. Here’s why we stand behind this bill:

1. Affordable Housing Without Displacement
   Instead of large-scale development that can disrupt communities, ADUs allow homeowners to add housing within their existing neighborhoods. This helps preserve local character while addressing housing needs.

2. Empowering Homeowners
   ADUs provide homeowners with financial flexibility. Whether you’re looking to earn rental income, house aging family members, or provide a home for a grown child, ADU Construction offer the perfect solution.

3. Sustainable, Small-Footprint Living
   ADUs are inherently sustainable. At TinyMod®, we specialize in energy-efficient designs that minimize environmental impact while maximizing comfort.

4. Financial Accessibility
   With HB24-1152’s focus on fee reductions, interest rate buydowns, and financial grants, building an ADU is now more affordable than ever. TinyMod® offers pre-designed and customizable ADU options that align with these cost-saving measures.

How TinyMod® Can Help Coloradans Build Affordable ADUs

HB24-1152 removes many of the barriers that have previously made ADU construction challenging, but finding the right solution can still feel overwhelming. That’s where TinyMod® comes in.
