City to hold public meeting on licencing secondary suites

Red Deerians are invited to a public meeting about the City of Red Deer’s plans to license secondary suites.

Red Deerians are invited to a public meeting about the City of Red Deer’s plans to license secondary suites.

The session will be Monday, Jan. 9, at 6:15 p.m. in council chambers.

Those unable to attend can still share comments through legislativeservices@reddeer.ca by Jan. 6.

The bylaw proposes that all owners of secondary suites apply and obtain a licence for their suites.

If approved, it would come into effect on March 1 and all property owners would be required to apply, pay for and obtain their licence by June 1.

The City of Red Deer is looking at licensing because it will help determine ownership, ensure the suite remains active, prevent unauthorized suites, and allow new applications to be considered for approval when existing suites are removed.
