Whether you're ready to apply to begin building, or just looking for a checklist to see if you've missed anything, below is a repository of all City building guides, forms and documents, so you can be sure to find the one you need for your situation.
Notice
With the implementation of the Small Scale Multi Unit Housing form regulations in the City’s Zoning Bylaw in July 2024, secondary suites became a permitted use in all single-detached residential zones. As such, the provision of a Temporary Residential Unit (TRU) was removed from the Zoning Bylaw on November 26, 2024.
By removing the TRU regulations, the City aims to provide more streamlined feedback when evaluating secondary suite designs and locations, as well as consistent public safety standards by ensuring that all secondary or temporary dwelling units meet current Fire Code and Building Code requirements. It will also assist in reducing confusion in the real estate market and by the public on the differences between a legal secondary suite and a permitted TRU.
Please contact the Building Department at BuildingInquiries@MapleRidge.ca to apply for a secondary suite.
