Laneway home planner

Can I build a laneway house?

Enter a Metro Vancouver address to tint lots that might take a laneway or coach house, then drop a 14 × 32, 18 × 36 or 22 × 40 ft footprint on the property sketch.

Free planning sketch. Not a survey, title search, or construction approval.

What the planner can tell you

In Vancouver, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, turn on Possible laneway lots. Green is a geometry hint—not a list of homes that already have a lane house, and not zoning approval. Details and bylaw citations are on the laneway homes page.

Outside those cities we can still place the same footprints on a lot outline where we have parcel data. Treat that as “the rectangle might sit here,” then talk to your city about garden suites, coach houses or ADUs by their local name.
