Classification of Property type

1 - Total, all property types

11 - Single-detached house

A single dwelling not attached to any other dwelling or structure (except its own garage or shed). A single-detached house has open space on all sides, and has no dwellings either above it or below it. A mobile home is also classified as a single-detached house, when not a separate member.

12 - Semi-detached house

One of two dwellings attached side by side (or back to back) to each other, but not attached to any other dwelling or structure (except its own garage or shed). A semi-detached dwelling has no dwellings either above it or below it, and the two units together have open space on all sides.

13 - Row house

One of three or more dwellings joined side by side (or occasionally side to back), such as a townhouse or garden home, but not having any other dwellings either above or below.

14 - Condominium apartment

A "condominium apartment" refers to a set of living quarters that is owned individually, while land and common elements are held in joint ownership with others.

15 - Mobile home

A "mobile home" is a single dwelling, designed and constructed to be transported on its own chassis and capable of being moved to a new location on short notice. It may be placed temporarily on a foundation pad and may be covered by a skirt. This category may also include houseboats and mini homes.

16 - Other property type

An "other property type" refers to a property where the structure has a single dwelling unit in a mixed-use building and does not fall into any of the other categories, or where the structure type is unknown.

17 - Property with multiple residential units

A "property with multiple residential units" refers to a property containing more than one set of living quarters owned by the same owner(s), as is the case for an apartment building or a duplex or a property with two houses on the same lot.

18 - Vacant land

"Vacant land" refers to a property on which there are currently no residential structures, but where one can be built.
