Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in Cape May Point, New Jersey
New Jersey has no single statewide ADU law. Each of the state's 564 municipalities, Cape May Point (Cape May County, NJ) included, sets its own zoning for accessory dwelling units (granny flats, in-law suites, backyard homes). Whether you can build one in Cape May Point, how big, and how tall depends on the town's ordinance and your specific lot. We have not sourced Cape May Point's zoning ordinance yet, so we cannot tell you what Cape May Point permits on your lot. That is a gap in our record, not a finding about Cape May Point. What we can do today is measure the lot itself: its dimensions, what already sits on it, and its flood exposure.
