Smart But Illegal?? - Small House Living

Hi Ashley,

My husband and I have become infatuated with small, or in some cases tiny, houses. The prospect of having a small, yet livable, freestanding home with a yard that was actually affordable is something that we’re sure most people haven’t dreamt of. We sure hadn’t. There are plenty of interesting stories and blogs on tiny houses out there but most are American and we certainly haven’t seen anything for Calgary. We understand that in some places it’s illegal to build a house under so many square feet – usually something like 1,000 – but do these restrictions apply to Calgary or the rest of Canada? If so, why would anyone care what size of house you wanted to live in?

Amanda and Curtis
