This Report is for you if:

You’ve heard about BC’s new housing legislation but want to know exactly what it means for your specific property. You might want to add a secondary suite, a laneway home, or a second dwelling — and you want a clear answer before hiring an architect or builder. Or you’re buying or selling a property and need to know what development potential actually looks like once title restrictions are factored in. Or you simply want to understand what you legally own the right to build, without spending hours interpreting zoning bylaws and LTSA documents yourself.

If any of that sounds familiar, this report gives you a single, plain-language document that answers the complete question.

What’s Included:

Your report covers two distinct layers of analysis that most property owners — and many real estate professionals — never review together:

1. Complete Zoning Analysis
   Your property’s zoning designation sets the baseline rules for what’s permitted. We pull and interpret the current municipal bylaw for your specific lot, including how BC’s new housing legislation applies to your address. Here’s what the zoning analysis covers:

• • Current zoning designation and permitted uses
  • Allowable unit count (most BC properties now permit 3–4 units; some more)
  • Secondary suite and ADU permissions, including laneway and garden suite eligibility
  • Lot coverage, height limits, setback requirements, and floor space ratio for your zone
  • Minimum lot size requirements and how your property compares
  • Development Permit Areas or Conservation Zones
  • Relevant development variance or rezoning potential

1. Full LTSA Title Search & Analysis
   Zoning permissions are only half the picture. Registered title interests — easements, covenants, and rights-of-way — can silently override what zoning permits, and most property owners have never reviewed them. We pull your property’s full title from the Land Title and Survey Authority and assess every registered interest for its development impact. Here’s what the title analysis covers:

• • Registered easements: utility, drainage, and access easements
  • Restrictive covenants: agreements that limit how the property can be used
  • Section 219 covenants: registered by municipalities or developers that can prohibit secondary suites, additional units, or specific construction types
  • Rights-of-way: public or private rights that reduce your effective buildable area
  • Statutory building schemes: neighbourhood-wide restrictions
  • Priority agreements, notices, and other registered interests that may affect financing or future development approvals

How It Works

1. 1. Order and submit your property
      Complete your order and you’ll be prompted to enter your property address. That’s all we need to get started. No forms to fill out, no documents to gather, no technical knowledge required.
   2.  We gather and analyze your property data
      Our team retrieves your property’s current zoning designation from your municipality’s bylaw database and pulls the full title record from the BC Land Title and Survey Authority. We then conduct a complete analysis of both, cross-referencing every registered interest against your zoning permissions.
   3. You receive your report
      Within 2-5 business days, you’ll receive a structured PDF report written in plain language — no planning jargon, no legal boilerplate. Every finding is explained in terms of what it means for your property and your options. You’ll know exactly where you stand.
