These are half duplexes and full duplexes for sale in Ladner, Delta, including older side-by-side homes and newer builds since Delta's 2024 zoning change.
A half duplex is usually one of two strata lots in a single building. You own your half, and you share decisions about the roof, the shared wall and any common property with one neighbour. The Strata Property Act generally puts the boundary between the two lots at the midpoint of the wall that divides them.
A full duplex sells as one property with two homes. Check the listing to see which you are looking at.
Many Ladner duplex listings mention a suite. Delta's published rules apply to each one:
The Province's suite guide adds that adjoined homes need a one-hour fire separation, that a suite in a duplex needs zoning that allows it, and that the Building Code allows suites only in side-by-side duplexes. Whether Delta lets each half have its own suite is UNVERIFIED; confirm with the City.
Ask the seller for the permit and final inspection for any suite. A space described as a suite on a listing may never have been approved.
Ladner sits low on the Fraser River delta. Delta's 2024 Official Community Plan places Ladner Village in the Fraser River floodplain, protected by dikes. That affects how homes are built: an April 2026 Delta staff report says basements are impractical in Ladner, so many suites here are on the ground floor or above, not below grade.
On June 24, 2024, Delta Council adopted zoning changes that allow single detached homes, duplexes, secondary suites, coach houses and garden suites without rezoning. Up to four units are allowed on residential lots. Delta's report says duplexes were extremely limited before this, and that 138 duplex units were permitted citywide by the end of 2025.
Staff proposed further changes in April 2026, such as a houseplex zone. Council did not adopt them, and staff will report back in 2027.
Delta's Official Community Plan includes heritage conservation areas in Ladner, where exterior changes need a Heritage Alteration Permit. If a duplex is in one, check what you can change before you plan renovations.

Fewer than you might expect. A 2026 Delta staff report says basements are impractical in Ladner, so suites are often at or above ground level. Any suite needs a building permit.
No. Delta says a secondary suite cannot be strata-titled or sold separately from the home.
Delta requires one on-site parking space for a suite, unless it is under 33 square metres or within 400 metres of frequent transit on Scott Road.
