Garage suites are allowed on many residential properties in Calgary. Following the citywide rezoning changes introduced in August 2024 (RCG zoning), more residential lots now permit backyard and garage suites alongside the main home.

However, each property must still be reviewed for factors such as lot size, setbacks, parking requirements, access, and utility servicing. A development permit is typically required before construction can begin.

Alta Home can review your property zoning, site conditions, and access to determine whether a garage suite is feasible and guide you through the permitting and approval process.
