New information about adding additional dwelling units
The City of Kitchener website now has more information available about how you can add additional dwelling units to your property. Visit the Additional Dwelling Units webpage.
Please be sure to subscribe for updates to that page. In the coming months, we will be adding additional resources including guidebooks, webinar recordings, and other helpful information.
As always, if you have any questions please reach out at planning@kitchener.ca or 519-741-2426 (TTY: 1-866-969-9994).
You can also come to City Hall to meet in person. Drop by our Service Centre on the Ground Floor of City Hall (200 King Street West) or book an appointment.
On Monday, March 25, 2024, Kitchener Council unanimously approved new Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments. These enable up to four dwelling units on residential lots in Kitchener. They are only allowed where zoning permits single detached, semi-detached or street townhouse dwelling units. For more information, visit: About residential dwelling units
