Building in Milton
What shapes a custom home in Milton
We build in Old Milton, Timberlea, Dorset Park and the escarpment countryside near Campbellville. Old Milton's larger lots suit rebuilds. Escarpment and rural lots have separate rules.
How many units the lot allows
Milton's Zoning By-law 016-2014 (s.4.10, March 2026) allows up to three additional dwelling units on detached, semi, semi-link and townhouse lots served by municipal water and wastewater, so four units in total.

Milton requires every additional residential unit to be registered with the Town once it's built. Registration is a three-year pilot that launched in 2025.

Ontario's Planning Act and O. Reg. 299/19 allow up to three residential units on a serviced urban residential lot, which matters if you want a suite in your new house or a garden suite out back.

Ontario's Building Code Act requires a permit to construct or demolish, so a knockdown-rebuild needs both. New homes must be built by a builder licensed by the Home Construction Regulatory Authority and enrolled for the Tarion new home warranty.
