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.
