Laneway Homes in Burnaby & the Tri-Cities

What Burnaby & Tri-Cities allows

Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody each permit forms of detached accessory housing, with programs that have expanded significantly under BC's small-scale multi-unit housing legislation. Rules differ by municipality — lot size, lane access, and servicing all matter. We handle the feasibility review municipality by municipality.
