What is a Secondary Suite Calgary?
A secondary suite (also known as a basement suite, mother-in-law suite or granny suite) is a self-contained accessory living space consisting of a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen developed within or on the same property as a single family home.
What’s the difference between a duplex and a secondary suite?
The City of Calgary Land Use Bylaw 1P2007 defines a duplex as a building that contains two dwelling units, one located above the other, with each having a separate entrance.
Secondary suites differ from a duplex in that they are limited in size to a maximum of 70 square metres (m2) in most cases.
Secondary suites offer greater flexibility in form and placement on a property while a common entrance is permitted, provided it leads directly to the exterior and is separated from adjacent floor areas.
