Are garden suites legal in Toronto?

Yes, garden suites are legal in Toronto. The City of Toronto permits the construction of garden suites in the rear yards of residential properties not adjacent to a public laneway, subject to compliance with Ontario Building Code regulations, Zoning By-law, and other applicable laws. This includes considerations for emergency access, tree preservation, and compliance with specific dimensions and requirements outlined in Zoning By-law 569-2013.

Trust KSON Design to navigate the complex legal landscape of garden suite construction in Toronto. Our team ensures full compliance with all relevant regulations, providing peace of mind throughout the process.

What is the difference between a laneway suite and a garden suite in Toronto?

The primary difference between a laneway suite and a garden suite lies in their location. A laneway suite is situated on a lot that abuts a publicly designated laneway, while a garden suite is for properties without public laneway access. Both are self-contained dwelling units located in the rear yard and detached from the main house, subject to their specific zoning by-law regulations.

Whether you’re considering a laneway suite or a garden suite, KSON Design offers tailored solutions to maximize the potential of your property. Our expertise in designing and permitting such structures ensures optimal utilization of space and compliance with local regulations.

How big can a garden suite be in Toronto?

the maximum footprint of a garden suite is the lesser of 40% of the rear yard area or 60 square meters. Furthermore, the total area covered by all ancillary buildings and structures on a lot, including the garden suite and any sheds or garages, must not exceed 20% of the lot area.

With KSON Design, you can rest assured that your garden suite will be designed to maximize space efficiency while adhering to all size and zoning regulations in Toronto.
