Buying in Abbotsford: What to Check
- ALR & zoning: Confirm permitted uses and any local bylaw limits (e.g., secondary dwellings, agri-tourism structures).
- Water & irrigation: Gather well logs/flow tests; review any surface water licences and distribution (drip/micro-spray).
- Soils & drainage: Understand soil capability for your intended crops; verify field drainage and access for equipment.
- Septic & services: Check septic age/capacity, electrical service (home + shop/barn), and available fuel sources.
- Outbuildings: Confirm permits, electrical, and condition for barns/shops; note biosecurity considerations when applicable.
