Additional Residential Units (ARU's)

The Brockton Additional Residential Unit Toolkit is the standardized guide for building ARUs on your property.

The ARU Toolkit is designed to simplify what can often feel like a complex process by clearly outlining the information needed before engaging a qualified designer. 

Using this toolkit will streamline, or "fast-track" the approval process for your building permit application. Applications that follow the structured guidance provided are more likely to meet municipal requirements on the first submission, allowing them to be fast-tracked through the review process. This reduces delays, minimizes back-and-forth revisions, and helps projects get underway.

Building an Additional Residential Unit in Brockton offers a range of practical and community-wide benefits, particularly as the Municipality works to expand housing options and support sustainable growth. 

Accessory Residential Units (ARUs) are commonly developed by homeowners to enhance property value, support rental income opportunities, and accommodate independent living arrangements for family members.
