Burlington New Zoning for Accessory Units
In 2023, Burlington introduced updates to its zoning by-law, allowing detached accessory dwelling units on residential properties citywide, promoting affordable housing and flexible living solutions.
What are Burlington's accessory units?
Burlington’s accessory units are a secondary residential unit on the same property as a primary home. It could be a basement apartment or detached Garden Suites. They provide additional living space while complying with zoning regulations for safety, size, and design.
Size and Height
The suite must not be taller than 4.0 meters in height and the greater of 42 sq meter. It must be approximately 5% of the house in size. Plus, 0.6 meter setback is required along the side and rear property lines.
