Can your Ottawa lot actually support an ADU?

Ottawa allows accessory dwelling units on most residential lots, but rear-yard space, servicing, and setbacks decide the real answer. Check your address free with Zoned.

Ottawa permits accessory dwelling units (backyard homes, garden suites, coach houses, and secondary suites) on most residential lots, and the new N zones under By-law 2026-50 keep that direction.
