HAMILTON ADU GRANT · UPDATED NOV 2026

What changed — and what to do now
Check the City of Hamilton's ADU page (hamilton.ca) or contact the City's ADU team for the latest on incentives before you budget. A suite can still pay for itself through rental income or by housing family — the key is a realistic plan, permits done right, and a build that passes inspection the first time.
- Confirm current incentives directly with the City of Hamilton before relying on any grant
- Hamilton zoning now allows additional units on many residential lots — check your property
- Budget for permit drawings, fire separation, egress and separate entrances
- Get a site visit before paying for drawings so you know what your space allows
- Ask any contractor how they handle permits and City inspections
