Westport City Zoning Code
§11-B 11-2.4.12B
AFFORDABLE ACCESSORY APARTMENT
Revised Sept. 2026
As of 2026, the state median income for Connecticut is $129,500 and the area median income for the Stamford-Norwalk HMFA is $156,800, according to the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Therefore, since the lower of the state or area median income is to be used to determine affordable income figures, staff has based the maximum figures on the $129,500 figure.
The chart below lists the maximum allowable income for persons occupying an accessory affordable apartment as well as the maximum allowable housing rent that can be charged for the unit.
