Common Questions About Detached Garages
Do I need a permit for a detached garage in Edmonton?
Yes, detached garages require both development and building permits in Edmonton. Structures over 10 square meters (108 sq ft) need a building permit, and all detached garages need a development permit. The 55 square meter threshold determines whether it's classified as a simple or complex garage application. We handle all permit applications for you.
How far from my property line can I build?
Edmonton typically requires a minimum 0.6m (2 feet) setback from side and rear property lines for detached garages. A minimum 0.9m (3 feet) distance is required between the garage and any other building on your site. Corner lots may have different requirements. We'll assess your specific property during consultation.
Can I add a suite above my garage?
Garden suites above detached garages are now permitted in many Edmonton neighborhoods. These require additional permits and must meet specific requirements. We can help you understand if your property qualifies and design accordingly.
What's the best time of year to build?
In Edmonton, the ideal construction window is May through October. However, we can build year-round using cold-weather construction techniques. Winter builds may take slightly longer but can often result in better contractor availability.
