Bill 23 in Ottawa
Bill 23, officially known as the More Homes Built Faster Act, is a piece of provincial legislation passed in Ontario, Canada, in 2022. The purpose of the bill is to accelerate the construction of new homes in the province, with the goal of addressing Ontario's housing affordability crisis.
Before Bill 23, property owners were only able to build two (2) units on their property.
After Bill 23, property owners are now able to build three (3) units on their property.
