Massie Family Community RoomThinking of creating an Additional Residential Unit (ARU) on your property? If so, this event is for you! Come join experts from the City of Barrie's Planning and Building teams to learn more.
City Staff will provide information on:
- Planning your unit - What are the ARU planning and zoning requirements
- Building your unit - What are the building permit and inspection requirements for second suites (inside your home) and detached additional residential units (a separate unit on your property)
- Financing - Where and how to find available ARU funding options
If you are unable to attend this session, the City will once again be hosting this workshop at our Downtown location on Feb 11th.
You can also visit the City's Additional Residential Units webpage to learn more about project requirements and the benefits of ARUs.
Seating is limited so registration is encouraged to guarantee your spot but drop-ins are also welcome if space is available.
