I ranked #1 in South Surrey/White Rock by MLS® points for 2025 and 2026 YTD, #8 of 5,061 Fraser Valley Realtors, Top 35 Under 35 at Royal LePage Canada, and Top 10 at Royal LePage BC. I grew up on a farm in Langley and live in Langley now. Call or text 604-928-1361 or send me a message.

Buying Farms, ALR Land & Equestrian Acreages in Cloverdale, BC

Cloverdale's agricultural belt spans the Serpentine and Nicomekl river lowlands west of 176 Street (Highway 15) and south of Highway 10, forming one of the largest contiguous Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) zones in Surrey. Properties range from 2- to 5-acre hobby farms and equestrian facilities near 168 Street and 40 Avenue to 20- to 80-acre commercial berry, nursery, forage, and vegetable farms.

ALC House Size Rules

On ALR parcels in Surrey, Agricultural Land Commission rules cap the principal residence at 500 m² (5,382 sq ft) of total floor area and permit one small secondary residence up to 90 m² (969 sq ft), subject to City of Surrey A-1 or A-2 zoning and Flood Construction Levels.

BC Assessment Farm Class (Class 9)

Qualifying agricultural production can maintain BC Assessment Farm Class status, which lowers annual municipal property tax rates and affects GST and Property Transfer Tax calculations when active farm operations continue.

Drainage, Diking & Floodplain

Lowland parcels in the Serpentine Valley sit within City of Surrey floodplain mapping and rely on municipal drainage ditches, pump stations, and site-specific geotechnical fill certificates for residential and barn foundations.

Cloverdale Farms & ALR Acreages — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum house size allowed on ALR farmland in Cloverdale?

Under BC Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) regulations and City of Surrey A-1/A-2 zoning, the principal residence on an ALR parcel is capped at 500 m² (5,382 sq ft) of total floor area unless a non-adhering residential use application is approved by both the City of Surrey and the ALC.

Is a second residence permitted on a Cloverdale ALR acreage?

ALC rules allow one additional small residence up to 90 m² (969 sq ft) of total floor area on qualifying ALR parcels, subject to City of Surrey building permits, septic capacity, and floodplain elevation rules.

How does a Cloverdale farm qualify for BC Assessment Farm Class (Class 9)?

To maintain Class 9 Farm Status, a property must meet minimum gross annual agricultural income thresholds established by BC Assessment ($2,500 to $10,000+ depending on parcel size) through qualifying crop, livestock, or greenhouse production, either by the owner or under a written farm lease.

Does GST apply when buying a farm or ALR acreage in Cloverdale?

GST treatment on farmland depends on whether the parcel is sold as part of an ongoing commercial farming business, leased agricultural land, or personal-use rural acreage. Always have a CPA review the allocation between the principal residence + 0.5 hectares and the remaining agricultural land before writing an offer.

What water and septic systems serve Cloverdale farms?

Some Cloverdale ALR roads have municipal water mains at the lot line while others rely on drilled wells or water licences, and nearly all rural acreages use private on-site septic systems and perimeter agricultural drainage ditches.

Are horse barns and riding rings permitted on Cloverdale ALR land?

Yes. Boarding stables, private barns, and indoor or outdoor riding arenas are permitted agricultural uses on A-1 zoned ALR land in Surrey, subject to lot-coverage limits, manure-management rules, and watercourse setbacks.

How do Cloverdale farms compare with Ladner and Langley farms?

Cloverdale farms sit directly along the Highway 10 and Highway 15 corridors between Ladner farms to the west and Langley acreages to the east, offering central access to South Surrey, Highway 1, and the Pacific Highway border crossing.
