Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Town of East Gwillimbury allow basement apartments on private services?

Yes, but with strict conditions. For properties in rural East Gwillimbury operating on private wells and septic systems, a licensed engineer must verify that the existing septic tank and leaching field possess the design capacity to handle the increased daily sewage load from the added basement plumbing fixtures before a building permit is issued.

What are the parking spot constraints for a legal basement in East Gwillimbury?

Under the Town of East Gwillimbury zoning bylaws, a residential property containing a legal second dwelling unit must provide a minimum of 1 dedicated, off-street parking space specifically for the secondary unit tenant. This space must be provided in addition to the standard parking spots required for the principal residence and must remain clear of municipal right-of-ways.

What headroom requirements apply to East Gwillimbury legal basement ceilings?

To satisfy the Ontario Building Code guidelines for existing dwellings, a legal basement apartment must maintain a continuous minimum clear headroom of 1.95 meters (6 feet, 5 inches) across at least 75% of the habitable floor area. Structural bulkheads housing mechanical ducts may project below this limit up to 1.95 meters max.
