What can you build in Sherrill, NY?

Owner Occupancy

  • No owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs.

Rental Restrictions

  • Detached ADU: accessory buildings may not be used for residence or dwelling purposes. Attached ADU: short-term rentals (<30 days) are allowed only by Special Use Permit (with guest limits and required off-street parking; violations may lead to suspension/revocation and a 1-year wait to reapply).

These are the municipality-wide rules. What's allowed on a specific property also depends on state laws, setbacks, floor area ratio, lot coverage, environmental constraints, topography, and other property-specific factors. Search your address on FutureLot to see what's allowed on your property.
