Secondary dwellings are becoming a popular method of generating additional income for many homeowners. These self-contained units can offer flexibility and convenience for both renters and property owners. There are requirements which must be met before you can begin to construct a secondary dwelling, including reviewing the County of Renfrew Official Plan and the local Zoning By-law.
The County of Renfrew has created an informational brochure to assist property owners with some of the requirements and frequently asked questions about accessory dwellings, which can be found here.
Parking requirements, road setbacks, servicing options, and minimum unit size are examples of the planning and engineering factors that are considered before a secondary dwelling is constructed. Consultation with your local municipality is strongly encouraged.
