Clarence-Rockland rules to know before you rent
We don't have Clarence-Rockland reviews to show yet, so here are the City's own rules, and where to check them.
- Up to three units with full servicesOn a lot with municipal water and sewer, the zoning allows up to three units: three in the main home, or two in the home and one in an accessory building of one storey or 4 metres, with a 2-metre rear setback. The added unit can't take away the main home's parking, and its space can be in the driveway, in tandem.Source: City of Clarence-Rockland, zoning amendment for additional residential units (May 2024), checked October 18, 2026
- Wells, septic and partial servicesOn private well and septic, a second unit is allowed only with a detached house in a rural or agricultural zone, on at least 4,000 m². With municipal water only, a detached lot needs 2,500 m². Either way, the two units can have four bedrooms in all, and smaller lots need a hydrogeological study.Source: City of Clarence-Rockland, zoning amendment for additional residential units (May 2024), checked October 18, 2026
- Well water: free bacteria testsHomes on private wells can have their water tested for E. coli and coliform bacteria for free through Public Health Ontario, with results online in two to four business days. Testing before a new tenant moves in is good practice.Source: Public Health Ontario, well water testing (June 3, 2026), checked October 18, 2026
