Understanding BC’s Small-Scale, Multi-Unit Housing Legislation

In January 2024, British Columbia’s Ministry of Housing enacted Bill 44, allowing 2-6 units on lots previously designated for single-family or duplex residences. Local governments updated zoning bylaws by June 30, 2024, considering exemptions for heritage sites, hazardous areas, or properties lacking essential services. The legislation also reduces parking requirements, encourages higher density near transit (Bill 47), and eliminates unnecessary zoning barriers.
