The City is making it easier to build a garden suite by offering free, pre-approved plans to interested homeowners.
The plans, which are a key initiative from Mississauga’s Housing Action Plan, are a good example of how the City is streamlining processes to get homes built more quickly and help with affordability.
Homeowners have two standardized garden suite models to choose from:
Homeowners can customize their interior and exterior garden suite finishes such as paint, plumbing fixtures, siding, windows, doors and flooring as these items don't require changes to the pre-approved plans. The layout of the suite – such as wall, door, window and room locations – can not be modified.
One of the benefits of the pre-approved plans is that homeowners can skip the design phase and start working directly with a licenced builder. Homeowners will be responsible for all building costs and may support to help prepare the building permit application.
