Secondary Suites Permit Bylaw No. 601, 2005, Amendment Bylaw No. 1125, 2023

View Royal's Bylaw 601 requires permits for secondary suites. Specifically, it addresses 'Type 2' permits, which were issued before September 1, 2007, for suites that didn't initially meet building code standards. The bylaw no longer allows new Type 2 permits. However, existing Type 2 permits can be renewed indefinitely. Holders of these permits must display them visibly within the suite. Failure to comply with the bylaw can result in fines, with increasing penalties for repeat offenses. The bylaw outlines penalties for violations and general provisions for severability and interpretation. This bylaw affects owners of properties with secondary suites that were not initially code-compliant and obtained a permit before the specified date.
