Maple Ridge suite rules
Maple Ridge permits one secondary suite per lot in the zones the City lists, A-1, A-2 and A-3 among them. The suite must be inside the single detached building, may take up to 40% of the gross floor area, and is not permitted in the Floodplain Area.
On parcels in the Agricultural Land Reserve, the Agricultural Land Commission’s rules apply as well. They allow one secondary suite in the principal residence and an additional residence only when the Commission’s conditions are met.
A suite in a separate building on acreage is not a secondary suite under these rules, so ask what the listing is describing and which zone the parcel is in.
The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark for a detached house in Maple Ridge was $1,138,500 in October 2026, 8.6% down over twelve months. The benchmark is the price of a typical house, not a median of sales.
Before you offer on a Maple Ridge house with a suite
- Ask for the Maple Ridge permit and final inspection for the suite. 144 of the 193 suite houses sold here were unauthorized, so the paperwork comes first.
- Check the floodplain map for the lot. A suite is not permitted in the Floodplain Area, so a suite in a low-lying house needs the permit history to be clear.
- Measure the suite against the limit of 40% of the gross floor area. On the median Maple Ridge legal-suite house of 3,688 square feet, 40% comes to about 1,480 square feet.
- If a tenant lives in the suite, ask for the tenancy agreement and the rent; a tenancy usually carries on after a sale. Legal-suite houses took 41 days to sell, so there is time to ask.
- If the listing says unauthorized, compare the price with the $1,225,000 median for unauthorized-suite houses and the $1,495,000 median for legal ones, then decide whether to legalize the suite or remove it.
