Burnaby’s house-lot rules

Since July 1, 2024 nearly every Burnaby house lot sits in the R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing District. A lot of 280 square metres (3,014 square feet) or less can take 3 units, a larger lot 4, and 5 to 6 units are possible only in a Frequent Transit Neighbourhood Area. Laneway homes, duplexes, multiplexes and cottage courts are all on the list.

A secondary suite counts toward the lot’s unit total, you get one suite per primary unit, and the suite stays on the same title as the house. Burnaby also has a new Zoning Bylaw 2026, adopted June 9, 2026 and effective July 1, 2026, and the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan, adopted December 9, 2025. Trees are protected by Tree Bylaw 10482, so check before you plan to clear a lot.

Slope and water decide a lot of Burnaby building. The City’s application checklist, effective August 1, 2026, asks for a geotechnical report and, on steep sites, slope stability and hydrogeological reports. Lots beside a creek fall under the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Development Permit Area.

Costs of owning a Burnaby house

Burnaby’s 2026 municipal residential rate is $1.72223 per $1,000 of assessed value, plus a Metro Vancouver rate of $0.05440.
