Secondary Suite

Best way to make contact

The owner pulled this permit themselves

1. No contractor is named on the City record, so the owner is the decision-maker — and they're at that address.
2. Sign in as a subscribed contractor to see the address.
3. Owner-pulled permits often mean DIY. A lot of them stall partway, so an offer to finish or inspect the work lands better than a pitch for the whole job.

Never look up the owner's phone number to cold-call them. The permit is public; their consent to be contacted is not.

General guidance based on the permit type — not legal advice, and not a substitute for checking current Alberta requirements yourself.

• Suite code requirements

  Secondary suites must meet Alberta Building Code rules for egress windows, fire separation and ventilation — a common source of failed inspections.
