Burnaby lots and land sold, November 2025 to October 2026

Fewer than 3 lots and land sold in Burnaby, too few to describe.

How many homes can a Burnaby house lot hold without rezoning?

Up to 3 to 6 dwelling units in the R1 SSMUH District, depending on the lot's area and its proximity to a frequent transit network bus stop, with secondary suites counted inside that total. The forms run from a single-family home with a suite or laneway home up to a fourplex, and on some properties a fiveplex or sixplex. Check the specific lot under Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815, in effect July 1, 2026.

What do DCCs and ACCs add to a new Burnaby lot?

For a subdivision the charges are calculated on net new lots created, and credit is given for existing construction removed from the site.

Is a Burnaby Mountain lot freehold like one in Brentwood?

UniverCity product sits on leasehold prepaid ground under SFU Community Trust 99-year ground leases, and a listing states a leasehold expiring in 2109. That is a title question for the specific parcel: read the lease and its expiry before comparing a mountain lot's value with a fee-simple lot elsewhere in Burnaby.

Can I stratify and sell the suite or laneway home separately?

A secondary suite classified under the BC Building Code must remain on the same title as the primary unit and cannot be stratified, so it cannot be sold as its own lot or unit. The City's small-scale guide frames the R1 unit count as inclusive of secondary suites, which is why the suite counts toward the lot's total rather than adding a separate saleable title.

Burnaby Lots and Land: streets and boundaries

  • This page covers the whole City of Burnaby, in the Metro Vancouver Regional District, so its land runs from the Brentwood and Metrotown town centres to the Burnaby Mountain and Big Bend edges under one set of city rules.
  • The plan frame is new: the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan was adopted December 9, 2025, replacing the 1998 Official Community Plan, and the City reviews it every five years under provincial requirements.
  • Burnaby's SkyTrain geography splits the city's land into station areas and non-station areas: the Expo Line connects downtown Vancouver with Burnaby, New Westminster and Surrey, and the Millennium Line runs from East Vancouver through Burnaby into Port Moody and Coquitlam.

Burnaby Lots and Land: the housing stock

  • Land here is the R District lot fabric, rezoned as one class: on June 10, 2024 Council rezoned all R District lots to the R1 SSMUH (Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing) District, so the default Burnaby land purchase is a fee-simple house lot whose added-unit potential runs under the current zoning bylaw.
  • Tenure is not uniform across the city: at UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain, product sits on leasehold prepaid ground under SFU (Simon Fraser University) Community Trust 99-year ground leases, and one listing states a leasehold expiring in 2109 — never assume freehold on the mountain.

Burnaby Lots and Land: rules that affect buyers

  • The current zoning bylaw is Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815, adopted June 9, 2026 and in effect July 1, 2026; the former Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 1965, No. 4742, is repealed and is never the bylaw to check a lot against.
  • In the R1 SSMUH District a lot is eligible to build up to 3 to 6 dwelling units depending on lot area and proximity to a frequent transit network bus stop, the total inclusive of any secondary suites; forms include single-family homes, laneway homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and, on some properties, fiveplexes and sixplexes.
  • A secondary suite classified under the BC Building Code must remain on the same title as the primary unit and cannot be stratified — a suite is not a separate lot or unit a buyer can purchase on its own.
  • 14667, 2024 — so servicing requirements for a specific Burnaby parcel are confirmed with the City under the bylaw in force at application, and no base number is stated here.
  • For small-scale projects the City calculates development cost charges (DCCs) and Amenity Cost Charges (ACCs) for subdivisions on the number of lots created — the low density residential rate multiplied by the net new lots created — and for building permits on net chargeable units.

Burnaby Lots and Land: local details a buyer would not know

  • Burnaby charges DCCs and ACCs on a net new unit basis, with credit for existing construction removed from the site — demolishing a house before subdividing changes the charge calculation.
  • For low density residential, only primary units are subject to DCCs and ACCs; for medium and high density residential, all dwelling units including accessory units such as secondary suites are charged.
  • The City has a waivers and reductions bylaw for the charges: adopted September 9, 2024, the DCC and ACC waiver framework is the document to check before assuming full rates on a non-market or student housing lot project.
  • Paying the charges by instalments itself carries a City processing fee: the 2026 fees amendment sets the processing fee for DCC and ACC instalments at $3,295 per individual DCC or ACC where the applicant requests instalments.
  • A Burnaby land buyer can pull a property information report from the City by civic address, folio number or parcel identifier (PID), showing assessment, tax levy information and legal description for the lot.

Burnaby Lots and Land: development and new projects

  • Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan, adopted December 9, 2025, City of Burnaby plan: the growth framework every Burnaby lot now sits under, integrating land use, transportation, housing and environment, and reviewed every five years — status: adopted (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815, adopted June 9, 2026, in effect July 1, 2026, City of Burnaby bylaw: repeals and replaces Zoning Bylaw 1965, No. 4742 — status: in effect (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Amenity Cost Charge bylaw amendment, City of Burnaby: an amendment to the ACC bylaw was adopted and came into effect on July 28, 2026, changing the amenity charge position for new lots after that date — status: in effect (as of November 3, 2026).

Burnaby Lots and Land: costs and taxes

  • Development cost charges: the updated DCC Bylaw was adopted June 24, 2024 and came into effect July 1, 2024, and the City's rate table effective that date sets low density residential DCCs at $54,870 per primary dwelling unit or lot.
  • Amenity cost charges: the initial ACC bylaw was also adopted June 24, 2024 and in effect July 1, 2024, at $26,963 per primary dwelling unit or lot for low density residential in the same City table, with an amendment in effect July 28, 2026.
  • Building permit application fees for a low density (1 to 11 storeys) project are $200 plus $0.52 per square metre of site area under the City's 2026 fees amendment, in force July 1, 2026.
  • Property tax timing a vacant-lot owner still meets: 2026 taxes were due Friday, July 3, 2026, with a 5% penalty after the due date and a further 5% after the September due date, and the City has no authority to waive or modify the penalties.
  • The 2026 levy a lot owner budgets for rose on two lines: Council approved a 2.9% property tax increase in the 2026–2030 Financial Plan, plus a Growth Infrastructure Investment Levy of 1.9%.
  • Burnaby Rates Bylaw 2026, Bylaw No. 14814, adopted May 12, 2026, is the bylaw that sets the year's municipal and regional district mill rates per property class.
  • Burnaby is a designated taxable area for the provincial Speculation and Vacancy Tax, so a residential lot owner there must complete the annual declaration.

Burnaby Lots and Land: getting around

  • Two SkyTrain lines cross the city's lot fabric: Expo Line stations in Burnaby include Patterson, Metrotown, Royal Oak and Edmonds, and Millennium Line stations include Brentwood Town Centre, Holdom, Sperling–Burnaby Lake, Lake City Way, Production Way–University and Lougheed Town Centre.
  • A lot's small-scale unit count partly depends on transit: the R1 SSMUH unit range of 3 to 6 turns on lot area and proximity to a frequent transit network bus stop, so the bus network is a zoning input, not just a commute fact.

Burnaby Lots and Land: risks and due diligence

  • Check tenure before anything else on Burnaby Mountain: UniverCity ground is leasehold prepaid ground under 99-year SFU Community Trust ground leases, so the title search, not the listing, decides what a buyer actually owns.
  • Check the bylaw vintage on any document a seller provides: material citing Zoning Bylaw 1965, No. 4742 or the 1998 Official Community Plan is superseded — the current documents are Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815 and the Burnaby 2050 OCP.
  • If a lot is ever offered in bare-land strata form, run the full strata diligence on the lot itself: a Form B Information Certificate, requested from the strata corporation, sets out the lot's fees, amounts owed, levies and insurance position.
