How many homes can I build on my lot?
Under BC's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing rules, most Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley lots allow at least 3 homes regardless of size. Lots over 280 m² (about 3,000 sq ft) qualify for up to 4, and lots near frequent transit can reach 6. Enter your lot size below for your specific estimate, free and instant.
Your estimate will appear here once you enter your lot size.
This tool applies BC's province-wide Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing minimums (rules current as of June 2026). It is an estimate, not legal or planning advice. Your municipality's bylaw and your lot's exact dimensions determine the actual number of homes permitted.

How accurate is this estimate?
It applies British Columbia's province-wide Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing minimums (Bill 44). The real number for your lot depends on your municipality's bylaw and your lot's exact dimensions, some cities allow more than the minimum. Treat this as a starting point, then confirm with a feasibility review.
What counts as 'near frequent transit'?
Provincial rules use roughly 400 metres (about a 5-minute walk) from a bus stop with frequent service, or proximity to rapid transit. If you're unsure, we can check your specific address during feasibility.
