Frequently Asked Questions

What are the parking space bylaws for secondary suites in Whitchurch-Stouffville?

Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville zoning regulations mandate that a residential property containing a legal second dwelling unit must provide at least 1 dedicated, off-street parking space for the accessory suite tenant. This space must be provided in addition to the standard parking spaces required for the principal residence and cannot infringe upon municipal front-yard landscaping limits.

How do private septic configurations affect rural basements in Whitchurch-Stouffville?

If your property operates on a private well and septic system rather than municipal sewers, a licensed engineer must verify that the existing tank and leaching bed possess the design capacity to handle the increased daily sewage load from added basement plumbing fixtures before any building permits will be issued.

What are the bedroom egress window safety codes in Whitchurch-Stouffville?

To ensure a safe exit path during emergencies, the Ontario Building Code requires every basement bedroom without a direct door to the outside to feature at least one egress window. The window must provide an unobstructed opening of at least 0.35 square meters (3.8 square feet), with no single dimension less than 380 mm (15 inches), and must open easily from the inside without keys or tools.
