Frequently Asked Questions

How do private septic systems impact legal basement apartments in Georgina?

For rural or lakeside properties in Georgina operating on private septic systems rather than municipal sanitary lines, you must submit a septic capacity evaluation. A licensed engineer must verify that your existing tank and leaching bed can handle the increased daily sewage load from the additional basement plumbing fixtures before the Town will issue a building permit.

What are the parking space bylaws for secondary units in Georgina?

Under the Town of Georgina zoning bylaws, a residential property containing an accessory secondary dwelling unit must allocate at least 1 dedicated, off-street parking space specifically for the basement tenant. This space must be provided in addition to the standard parking spots required for the primary residence and cannot infringe upon municipal front-yard landscaping limits.

What are the ceiling clearance thresholds for a legal suite in Georgina?

To meet Ontario Building Code guidelines for existing dwellings, a legal basement apartment must maintain a continuous minimum headroom clearance of 1.95 meters (6 feet, 5 inches) across at least 75% of the habitable floor area. If your current foundation floor slab leaves you short of this threshold, our team executes professional underpinning or bench footing systems.
