Garden suites in Toronto, made simple.

Everything homeowners need to know about building a premium garden suite — the rules, the process, and how Kasa handles it all.

Toronto Garden Suite By-Laws

In 2022, Toronto officially permitted Garden Suites as-of-right, meaning you no longer need a public laneway to build a backyard home. This game-changing policy allows standard residential properties to add a detached secondary unit. At Kasa Suites, we leverage these exact rules to design, permit, and build your premium garden suite without the headache of complex rezoning.

The basics

What are garden suites?

A garden suite is a custom backyard home for properties without laneway access. At Kasa Suites, we build these premium detached units to help you effortlessly generate rental income, house family, or add a home office — massively increasing your property value.

Garden dormers & smart space

Toronto allows garden suite dormers to push past the angular plane (up to 30% of the suite’s front wall width). At Kasa Suites, we expertly use this rule to give your second floor massive headroom and brilliant natural light — maximizing your interior space without zoning delays.
