A public consultation has been launched by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH). The proposed amendments can be found here and include:
- requiring two permits—one for the municipality in which a tiny home is being built
and another in the municipality where the home is located;
- limiting proposed amendments to tiny homes’ building code requirements; and
- enabling inspectors to conduct remote inspections by means of video and voice
technology.
If made, the proposed amendments to the Building Code are intended to come into effect
on January 1, 2022. The ministry requests feedback by October 22 via online submission.
