In March of 2018 the Calgary City Council green lit changes to how Secondary Suites are approved. Before this change, if you wanted to add a secondary suite to your property in a non-designated zone, you would need to apply, and attend a hearing with the city council. Nearly one fifth of all city council hearings were related to secondary suite approvals. Talk about time consuming for you and the city!
In fact, the City of Calgary is currently promoting the building of new legal suites. They are waiving the development permit and suite registry fees for the next 2 years! And there is even more good news! City council cast a vote allowing secondary suites to be built in properties and communities where multi-family dwellings were not previously allowed! Awesome!
What Does This Mean For You?
If your property is zoned under “discretionary approval” for building a legal secondary suite, then your life just got a lot easier. More zones are now allowing secondary suites, and even communities that said they would never allow suites are opening up. This does not mean that you are entirely home free. Once you apply for a development permit, the city will put a notice on the front of your home for public comment. This means that your neighbours will have a say on what you want to do with your property. You better make sure that you have ample available parking, as that is the #1 neighbour concern.
Even if your property is already zoned in a fully approved area of the city, you still benefit from the free development permit and suite registry! There is no better time to build a legal secondary suite in Calgary, than right now!
