Frequently Asked Questions

What are the fire separation requirements for a legal basement in Mississauga?

The Ontario Building Code dictates a mandatory 30-minute to 45-minute fire-resistance rating between the secondary suite and the main dwelling. This requires the installation of type X drywall on ceilings and shared walls, along with solid-core doors equipped with self-closing hardware.

What size must egress windows be for a legal basement in Mississauga?

Every bedroom within a secondary suite must feature at least one window that can be opened from the inside without tools, providing an unobstructed opening of no less than 0.35 square meters (3.8 square feet), with no individual dimension less than 380 mm (15 inches).

Can I build a legal basement apartment anywhere in Mississauga?

Zoning regulations dictate where second units are permitted. While Mississauga broadly allows second units in detached, semi-detached, and townhouses, properties must meet specific lot frontage, parking allocation, and total gross floor area ratios to secure municipal approval.
