Council’s primary goals in allowing Secondary Suites are to
- provide additional housing units in the community
- help out homeowners with their mortgages, and 3) ensure that suites are safe for residents.
For more information on secondary suites, please review this Excerpt from Zoning Bylaw 1992, No. 2050.
If you are considering adding a Secondary Suite to your dwelling, you may need to apply for a Building Permit. Please contact Development Services for more information.
