At that time, the previous owners had a permitted in—law apartment in.use at this address. If you are currently using or plan to use the space as an in-law apartment, there is an application form that needs to be completed prior to the use of the area. The South Windsor Zoning Regulations stipulate that an in-law apartment be occupied by a family member or relative only. In addition, the regulations also require that once the in-law apartment is no longer occupied by a family member or relative, it cannot be considered a second dwelling unit. Instead, you will be required to remove the kitchen and convert the living area into additional living space for the main dwelling. An in-law permit is valid for five (5) years. If the use as an in-law apartment is to be continued, you will have to renew this permit at that time. This will be done through a letter from the Town Planning Department, requesting reaffirmation of occupancy of the in-law apartment by a family member or relative. Please contact me and let me know what your intentions are for the in-law space within your home. If you have any questions, please call meat (860) 644-2511, extension 251.
