West Vancouver Homes with Secondary Suites

Owning a home with a suite in West Vancouver offers numerous advantages. Families spanning generations can enjoy close proximity while maintaining privacy, creating a harmonious living environment. Alternatively, homeowners may choose to rent out the suite, expanding housing options in the community and generating additional income. Known as West Vancouver homes or houses with a mortgage helper, these properties are sought after for their 2 kitchens setups. Lenders often consider the rental income from legal secondary suites when qualifying buyers for a mortgage, making these homes a smart investment choice.

Secondary suites are legal in West Vancouver if they:

  • comply with BC Building Code standards
  • are registered with the municipality
  • are licensed according to the suite’s use

Registering your suite

Homeowners are required to register and pay fees for secondary suites to ensure municipal services are provided to tenants, including access to libraries, community centers, and emergency services like police and fire departments. The initial registration fee amounts to $450, covering the first year’s license fee. Following this, an annual renewal fee is necessary to sustain the registered status, with varying rates depending on the suite’s usage.

Failure to register your secondary suite will result in violation of the Zoning Bylaw, potentially leading to fines of up to $10,000 and other penalties.

Removing a secondary suite

If you decide not to register your suite, decommissioning it is an option. Here’s a straightforward process to follow:

  • Engage a qualified electrician to secure an electrical permit.
  • Disconnect stove wiring from the wall outlet and electrical panel.
  • Remove all cooking facilities from the suite, including microwaves and hotplates.
  • Submit a declaration to the District confirming the completion of this work.

Short-term rentals
