Frequently Asked Questions

Are accessory apartments permitted across all residential zones in Uxbridge?

The Township of Uxbridge broadly permits accessory apartments in detached, semi-detached, and link homes, provided the structure meets specific criteria including minimum lot sizes, unencumbered parking allocations, and compliance with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan where applicable.

How do private septic systems limit legal basements in rural Uxbridge?

If your property relies on a private sewage system rather than municipal sewers, you must submit an evaluation of the existing tank and leaching bed capacity. If the daily sanitary design flow increases beyond the system's current rating due to the added basement fixtures, a septic system upgrade is mandatory before a building permit is issued.

What are the fire separation metrics required for Uxbridge basement suites?

To comply with the Ontario Building Code, a minimum 30-minute to 45-minute fire-resistance rating must separate the basement suite from the main house. This requires continuous Type X drywall on all shared ceilings and walls, mineral wool insulation between joists, and solid-core wood or metal doors equipped with self-closing hinges.
