Questions about this
Are basement suites legal in Saskatoon?
Legal secondary suites are permitted in most Saskatoon residential zones with City approval, and must meet the building and fire code, including egress and separation. An unpermitted suite is a problem at sale, because lenders will not count the income and buyers ask for the permit.
Does a secondary suite add value to a Saskatoon home?
A legal, permitted suite adds value in two ways: the income itself, and the wider pool of buyers who can qualify because a lender will count part of the rent. An unpermitted suite adds neither reliably.
