What oversized really means
There is no standard definition. To some buyers it means a double garage deep enough for a pickup; to others, room for a workbench beside two cars. Compare interior dimensions, door height and whether a truck with a canopy clears the opener, rather than trusting the listing label.
Older lots with room
An oversized garage is usually deeper or wider than a standard double, and in the southwest the easiest place to find one is an older lot with a lane, where owners rebuilt the detached garage bigger. The communities below were built between the 1960s and 1980s and have typical lots of about 6,000 square feet.

Coverage and permits
The City requires a permit for any detached garage or shed over 10 square metres, with a 1.2 m setback from the lane, and Zoning Bylaw 20001 limits the size and height of accessory buildings. If a garage looks newer than the house, ask for its permit.
What to measure
- Measure the inside depth with your longest vehicle in mind.
- Ask for the garage permit if it was rebuilt or enlarged.
- Check the electrical panel: many oversized garages have a subpanel.
- Look at the slab for cracks and drainage toward the lane.
