Frequently Asked Questions

What are the specific parking requirements for a secondary suite in Ajax?

The Town of Ajax zoning bylaws stipulate that a single detached, semi-detached, or townhouse property containing a legal second dwelling unit must provide a minimum of 1 dedicated parking space for the secondary unit. This is in addition to the standard parking space requirements allocated for the principal residence.

How does the Town of Ajax verify that a basement apartment is legally registered?

A basement suite is only deemed legal once it has successfully passed all mandatory Ontario Building Code inspections, received an occupancy permit, and has been formally added to the Town of Ajax Two-Unit House Registry. Operating an unregistered suite can result in steep municipal fines.

What are the thermal insulation requirements for a legal basement in Ajax?

To meet current Ontario Building Code energy efficiency standards, the exterior foundation walls of a legal basement suite must be insulated with a minimum continuous thermal resistance rating (typically R-20). We achieve this using high-density continuous framing insulation or spray foam assemblies to ensure comfort and moisture control.
