Homes in Greely
What the local housing means for bathrooms.
The population rose from about 4,100 in 2004 to about 5,430 by the end of 2010, with the City issuing an average of 81 building permits a year from 2001 to 2010. Almost all homes are single-detached, and most lots are between half an acre and two acres.
- Because nearly every lot is on a well and septic system, a secondary suite is limited to one additional unit, and new bedrooms or bathrooms start with a septic check.
- Large lots leave room for additions, decks and porches, placed around the well and the septic bed.
- Homes near Shields Creek, the Osgoode Marsh or other wetlands can sit inside a conservation authority's regulated area.
Permits and approvals
What to check in Greely before bathrooms work starts. Rules change, so we confirm what applies to your address.
Secondary suites on a well and septic system
Greely lots on a private well and septic system can have one additional unit, and the City asks owners to confirm with the Ottawa Septic System Office that the septic system can carry the extra load. Adding bedrooms or bathrooms elsewhere in the house can raise the same question, so the septic check comes before design.
Septic systems
The Ottawa Septic System Office administers the Building Code rules for septic systems in Ottawa: it reviews designs, issues permits for new and replacement systems and inspects them. An addition, a new bathroom or extra bedrooms can mean confirming the existing system's capacity, so we check it before design.
Building permits
The City generally requires a building permit to finish a basement, move or remove walls, alter plumbing, add or enlarge windows and doors, and build an addition. Replacing kitchen cabinets without moving plumbing fixtures usually does not need one. Electrical work is inspected separately by the Electrical Safety Authority.
