North Vancouver boasts a range of homes featuring secondary suites, offering homeowners additional living space and rental income potential. These self-contained units, found within single-family residences, enhance housing diversity and allow property owners to optimize their space usage. Whether accommodating family members or renting out to tenants, secondary suites contribute to North Vancouver’s vibrant and inclusive housing landscape. These are North Vancouver homes/ house with 2 kitchens. If the secondary suite is legal and rented, the lenders will consider the income from the suite when qualifying buyers for a mortgage. These homes are commonly called North Vancouver Homes/ Houses with mortgage helper.

In 1993, the City took the progressive step of legalizing secondary suites in all single-family dwellings, aiming to expand rental options in lower-density neighbourhoods.

Secondary suites, considered self-contained accessory dwelling units, must comply with the Zoning Bylaw and are exclusively permitted if the property owner resides on the premises.

Each single-family property is allowed one secondary suite, which may be combined with an accessory coach house, subject to compliance with regulations.

For new dwelling units, the installation of secondary suites is included in the main dwelling’s building permit application, streamlining the process for homeowners.

Secondary suites in existing buildings will require the following documentation:

  • Building Permit Checklist for Interior Renovations of Single and Two Family Dwelling units
  • Building Permit Application Form
  • Acknowledgement of Responsibility Owners Undertaking
  • Registered Owners Authorization Form
