Maximize Your Property with Accessory Dwelling Units
New Opportunities in Ontario: Accessory Dwelling Units
Build More with Lawson Contracting
The Ontario government has recently updated regulations to allow more homeowners to build accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on their properties. This change aims to increase housing supply and provide homeowners with new opportunities to maximize their property's potential.
What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on a residential property. ADUs can be attached to an existing home or built as a standalone structure. They are an excellent option for adding rental income, accommodating family members, or increasing your property's value.
Regulatory Changes:
The Ontario government’s initiative to ease restrictions on ADUs comes as part of broader efforts to address the housing shortage. Homeowners can now add an ADU to most residential properties without the previously required zoning changes, subject to certain guidelines and municipal bylaws.
