Lake Country Farm and Acreage FAQ
What is the difference between an acreage and an ALR farm in Lake Country?
An acreage is usually rural residential. An ALR farm is intended for agriculture and is regulated by the Agricultural Land Commission and local bylaws. Always confirm permitted uses and any limits for the exact parcel with the District of Lake Country and the ALC.
What due diligence should buyers consider?
Check water source and capacity, any irrigation licence, septic age and condition, power service, access, zoning and ALR status, title charges and easements, and building permits for outbuildings. Independent inspections and professional reviews are recommended.
Can I add a second dwelling or build new outbuildings?
It depends on zoning, ALR policy, setbacks, and services on site. Rules change. Confirm current requirements with the District of Lake Country and, if applicable, the ALC before planning work.
