What the by-law in Mirabel calls an intergenerational dwelling

Mirabel speaks of a “supplementary dwelling”: one per home, detached or semi-detached single-family, in the basement, ground floor or upper floor, with no professional or commercial use.

No family link is required.

Entrance, address, parking

A single access on the façade, which must also give access to the main dwelling; a private access is possible on the façade only from the rear half of the building's depth, or on a rear or side wall, hidden by a fence or opaque screen of 2 m. One extra off-street parking space, a single service connection, two civic numbers.

The permit and its fee

Permit of $250, plus growth-fund fees of $600 to $2,000 depending on infrastructure service. Documents: construction plans of the whole home and a site plan with the parking spaces. For a new build or an extension, the general fee is on our page building permit by city.

What is common to all of Quebec

Québec.ca (urban planning decision guide, “Logement intergénérationnel”, updated 31 August 2026): the zoning by-law may allow a single supplementary dwelling per main dwelling, intended for people in an established category who have, or have had, a family or marriage link with the main occupant, and the municipality sets the conditions of layout and occupancy, which may vary from one category of buildings to another. From 21 August 2024 to 21 August 2029, the Act to amend various legislative provisions respecting housing allows an accessory dwelling to be built by right in a detached single-family home located within the urban perimeter, outside places subject to public-safety constraints and outside heritage buildings, even if the zoning by-law does not allow it (summary published by the City of Terrebonne). The caregiver tax credit (caregiver tax credit of $1,494 for a person aged 70 or over who lives with you, and of $1,494 to $2,988 for an adult with an impairment living with you) and the GCR warranty on a new intergenerational build apply in Mirabel as elsewhere; our guide to the intergenerational home in Quebec compares the ten cities.

Buying or converting in Mirabel: the checklist

  1. The zoning grid of the address and the exact category (intergenerational, accessory, additional, two-family), in writing, before the offer or the plans.
  2. The existing permit for a unit already built: without a permit, it is a defect to declare and an insurance problem.
  3. The permit fee and delay, and the conditional use if there is one.
  4. The welcome tax and the City's water and waste compensation rules.
  5. The agreement between the two households at the notary's when they buy together.
