Calgary has many homes with secondary or basement suites, as well as backyard and carriage suites. These options are fantastic for mortgage helpers, providing rental income, or accommodating extended family, aging parents, or adult children seeking independent living while staying close to home.

City of Calgary: all suites require a building permit; legalize an existing secondary suite, adding a new suite or building a backyard suite.

Looking at adding a suite, Calgary introduced the Secondary Suite Incentive Program in 2023.
