Big news for Surrey homeowners: As of July 8, 2024, the City of Surrey has adopted major zoning bylaw changes to allow more housing options in single-family and duplex neighbourhoods. These changes align with new provincial housing legislation and could mean you can now build additional units on your property — without needing to rezone.

If you’ve ever thought about adding a rental suite, coach house, or even converting your home into a fourplex, this could be your moment.

What Is Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH)?

SSMUH includes a range of housing types designed to be more affordable and flexible — perfect for growing families, rental income, or multi-generational living.

Under the new zoning, you may now be able to build:

A secondary suite in your home

A detached garden suite or coach house

A duplex (side-by-side or stacked)

A triplex or fourplex (houseplex)

These changes are designed to:

Increase the housing supply in Surrey

Support more affordable housing options

Simplify the development process

Help homeowners maximize their property value

Align with B.C. provincial housing legislation
