Multiple-unit rules

Since 2024, Halifax rules allow multiple dwelling units on nearly all residential lots in many cases. However, the available option depends on the property’s zoning and whether the lot has enough area and road frontage for the proposed building. The building must also meet applicable requirements. These details can affect whether a conversion, addition or infill project is suitable and which approval route may apply. Before making plans, contact 311 with the Halifax property details and confirm the process that applies. Rules and property-specific requirements can change the best way to proceed.
