Homes in Stittsville
What the local housing means for kitchens.
The village was founded in the 1850s and rebuilt around the railway after an 1870 fire. Its Main Street core still has 19th-century buildings, and the City adopted a design plan for it in 2015. The suburban subdivisions around it date from the mid-1980s onward, and population growth suggests the largest share was built since 2000.
- Most Stittsville homes appear to be under 40 years old, so original builder-grade kitchens, bathrooms and basements are a typical starting point.
- Older houses near Main Street can need deeper kitchen, bathroom and addition work than the suburban homes around them.
- About 30 percent of townhomes are rented, which supports basement suites and rental-ready updates.
Permits and approvals
What to check in Stittsville before kitchens work starts. Rules change, so we confirm what applies to your address.
Main Street
No heritage conservation district covers Stittsville, but the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan guides the corridor, and at least one building on it, Green's Hotel, is individually designated. Exterior work on a designated building needs heritage approval and loses the usual permit exemptions.
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.
