Furry Creek real estate: your questions answered

Is there any apartment condo I can buy in Furry Creek?

The built strata stock is Oliver's Landing (56 townhouses) and Ocean's Crest (12 single-family strata homes); apartment buildings exist only in a rezoning proposal for the unbuilt Lot 2 waterfront lands.

A listing called Oliver's Landing a great retirement spot. Is it 55+?

No — that is a seller's lifestyle remark, not a bylaw.

Can I add a suite or extra units under the new provincial housing rules?

No. The Province has confirmed Furry Creek is exempt from the additional 3–6 unit SSMUH densities, Bylaw No. 1887-2025 removed the added units from the FCR3 and CD3 zones, and statutory building schemes and covenants also apply.

Can I rent out a Furry Creek strata unit long-term?

Strata rental-restriction bylaws are void province-wide since November 24, 2022, so a strata cannot ban long-term rentals; a strata can still restrict short-term rentals by bylaw, and the building scheme is a separate document to check.

What extra carrying costs are specific to Furry Creek?

A bundle of SLRD local services — water, sewer, dyking/drainage, fire protection, street lighting, solid waste and open spaces — levied on top of provincial rural property tax; get the current levy list from the SLRD before comparing carrying costs with Squamish.

Is Oliver's Landing finished? The units look 2000s-era but I saw newer permits.

Both. The phases the listings show were built 2000–2001, and development-permit documents for its Buildings 16–23 were still in form-and-character review in Dec 2024–Mar 2025 — the complex was still building out in 2025, on the same LMS4257 lands.

Is there any half duplex for sale in Furry Creek?

A Furry Creek purchase is a whole lot under one title, or a strata lot in one of the two named strata (townhouse form at Oliver's Landing; detached form at Ocean's Crest).

Can I add 3–6 units to a Furry Creek lot under the provincial SSMUH rules?

No. Furry Creek is expressly exempt — the Province determined the master-planned Howe Sound communities are not subject to the added SSMUH densities, and Bylaw No. 1887-2025 removed them from the FCR3 and CD3 zones.

Is Furry Creek part of Squamish?

No — it is an unincorporated slrd Electoral Area D community south of the District of Squamish boundary, governed by OCP Bylaw No. 1135-2013 and Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016.

What hazard rules affect building here?

Expanded Development Permit Areas adopted in 2022 (OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 1717-2021) cover landslide, slope stability, coastal and creek hazards in Howe Sound East, with dike design and flood construction level requirements on creek-fan lands.

Streets, schools and transit near Furry Creek condos

Furry Creek is an unincorporated, master-planned community in Electoral Area D of the SLRD, on the east shore of Howe Sound along Highway 99 (the Sea-to-Sky Highway), between Lions Bay and Squamish; the SLRD's Electoral Area D Official Community Plan lists it as one of eight settlement areas in Area D, and it forms part of the Howe Sound East sub-area with Britannia Beach (south) and the future community of Porteau Cove (north), under Schedule C of the OCP.
Where condo stock concentrates: it does not — the built strata stock is the waterfront townhouse strata of Oliver's Landing (Beach Drive / Whitecap Court / Point Terrace) and the single-family strata of Ocean's Crest at the south entrance, with single-detached homes on the hillside above Howe Sound and around the golf course. Apartment forms exist only in zoning and in a rezoning proposal, not as built buildings.
The community's anchor is Furry Creek Golf & Country Club, 150 Country Club Road — an 18-hole, par-72 course of about 6,060 yards opened in 1993, with a roughly 30,000 sq ft clubhouse and the Sea to Sky Restaurant overlooking the 18th green (club's own site).
Schools: School District 48 (Sea to Sky) serves the corridor "from Furry Creek to D'Arcy"; there is no school in Furry Creek itself. SD48's Policy 501 catchment table puts Furry Creek in the catchment of Squamish Elementary (K–6) in Squamish, with Don Ross Middle School (Grades 7–9) and Howe Sound Secondary School (Grades 10–12) as the Squamish-area middle and secondary schools. Confirm an individual address in SD48's School Locator.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Furry Creek

Local planning — SLRD Electoral Area D (there is no municipal bylaw set here): the Official Community Plan is Electoral Area D Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1135-2013 (adopted October 28, 2013), with the Howe Sound East Sub-area Plan as Schedule C covering Furry Creek; zoning is SLRD Electoral Area D Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016, whose Furry Creek zones include CD3 (Furry Creek Comprehensive Development 3), FCR residential zones, FCC1 (Furry Creek – Commercial 1) and FCC2 (Furry Creek Golf Course Commercial 2).
No SSMUH density windfall here: the Province has determined the SLRD's master-planned communities of Britannia Beach, Furry Creek and Porteau Cove are not subject to the additional 3–6 unit small-scale multi-unit housing densities, because they are not within an urban containment boundary for SSMUH purposes; SLRD Amendment Bylaw No. 1887-2025 removed the extra densities briefly added to the Furry Creek FCR3 and CD3 zones. Suite rights are whatever the base zoning and the building scheme allow.
Building schemes sit on top of zoning: the SLRD records that the Furry Creek neighbourhood has existing statutory building schemes and covenants, which constrain what owners can build or alter — read the scheme before planning changes, additions or a suite.
Hazard development permits: expanded Development Permit Areas for Howe Sound East were adopted through OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 1717-2021 (adopted May 25, 2022), covering landslide hazard areas, excavated rock and foundation stability, seismic liquefaction and fan stability, coastal hazards and creek hazards; creek-fan guidelines address dike design to IOD standard dike criteria and a flood construction level achieved by landfill.
Taxes — rural regime: as an SLRD electoral-area community, properties pay provincial rural property tax plus SLRD service levies for Furry Creek-specific services (water, wastewater treatment, street lighting, solid waste disposal, open spaces maintenance, fire protection, dyking/drainage — e.g., Furry Creek Dyking Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 481; Furry Creek Sewer Local Service Bylaw No. 1619). Under the rural regime (Taxation (Rural Area) Act s. 11), rural property taxes are due July 2, with a 5% penalty on amounts unpaid after July 2 and a further 5% on amounts unpaid after October 31.

Good to know about Furry Creek condos

Furry Creek was briefly given SSMUH densities, then had them taken back (2025). Amendment Bylaw No. 1887-2025 removed the extra 3–6 unit densities that had briefly been added to the FCR3 and CD3 zones after the Province determined the community is not within an urban containment boundary — anyone quoting "you can build four units now" from a 2024 source is out of date.
Oliver's Landing is still building out, three decades in. Development-permit documents for "Oliver's Landing at Furry Creek, Buildings 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23" were issued for form-and-character review in Dec 2024–Mar 2025 under the BC Building Code 2024 — the final phase of the waterfront strata was still in the permit stream in 2025, on strata plan LMS4257 lands.
The whole community runs on SLRD local services, not a city. Water, sewer, dyking, fire, street lighting and open-space maintenance at Furry Creek are each their own SLRD local service with its own bylaw (e.g., Dyking Bylaw No. 481, Sewer Bylaw No. 1619) — which is why two otherwise-similar Sea-to-Sky homes can carry different levy stacks.
The apartment buildings in the sales story do not exist yet. The 2022 rezoning presentation for Furry Creek proposed replacing the planned Lot 2 waterfront townhouses with low- to mid-rise apartments — a design concept in a rezoning process, with the same presentation recording overall covenant room for up to 920 homes, 300 hotel rooms and an 80-berth marina. None of that is built stock, and no completion date is published.
Squamish is the corridor's seniors-housing centre, not Furry Creek. Westwinds (232 affordable low-income seniors rentals, 38275 Third Ave, Squamish) opened in April 2022 beside the registered Shannon Falls Retirement Residence on the same street — a Furry Creek senior who needs supported or subsidized housing is, in practice, moving to Third Avenue in Squamish.

Townhome complexes in Furry Creek

Oliver's Landing — Beach Drive / Whitecap Court / Point Terrace, Furry Creek.

The tenure and form rest on the SLRD itself: the SLRD's Furry Creek Updated Waterworks Master Plan names Oliver's Landing as "a strata of 56 townhouse units" — name, strata tenure, townhouse form and unit count in one official source.

Local services: the SLRD provides Furry Creek-specific services — water, wastewater treatment, street lighting, solid waste disposal, open spaces maintenance, fire protection, and a dyking/drainage service — under local service bylaws (e.g., Furry Creek Dyking Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 481; Furry Creek Sewer Local Service Bylaw No. 1619).

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Furry Creek

Form B diligence (the counted strata): Strata Property Act s. 59 — the Form B states the lot's monthly strata fees, amounts owing, approved special levies still payable, the CRF balance and an insurance summary, with the rules, current budget, any Rental Disclosure Statement and the most recent depreciation report attached; provided within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page.

Good to know about Furry Creek townhomes

Oliver's Landing is still building out, three decades into the community's life. Development-permit documents for "Oliver's Landing at Furry Creek, Buildings 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23" were issued for form-and-character review in Dec 2024–Mar 2025 under the BC Building Code 2024 — the final phase of the waterfront strata was still in the permit stream in 2025, on strata plan LMS4257 lands.
Mailing addresses mislead jurisdiction searches here. Furry Creek listings surface under West Vancouver and Squamish postal framings in portals, but the ground is unincorporated SLRD Electoral Area D — the bylaws, tax notice and school catchment all run through the SLRD, the Province and SD48, not through either neighbouring municipality.

Lots and land in Furry Creek

What trades here

Ocean's Crest — 12-unit single-family strata, its own form: named "Oceans Crest" in the SLRD plan — a 12-unit single-family strata at the south entrance (Ocean Crest Drive), addressed in an SLRD rezoning presentation as "BC Strata 2480 (residents of Ocean Crest Drive)." Detached homes on strata lots: their own form, not townhomes and not bare land.
Lot sizes are governed by the FCR and CD3 zones of Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016 (Furry Creek zones on the bylaw schedules include CD3, FCR residential zones, FCC1 Furry Creek–Commercial 1 and FCC2 Furry Creek Golf Course Commercial 2).
The Lot 2 position above is a rezoning proposal, not an offering.

Streets, schools and transit near Furry Creek lots

Planning area: Furry Creek is part of the Howe Sound East Sub-area, which comprises Britannia Beach and Furry Creek and the future community of Porteau Cove, under Schedule C of the Electoral Area D Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1135-2013. Nearby areas: Britannia Beach to the south, Porteau Cove to the north, then Squamish; Lions Bay and West Vancouver further south on Highway 99.
Furry Creek appears in neither SnapStats September 2026 report — the FVR report's communities are Surrey, S Surrey White Rock, North Delta, Cloverdale, Langley, Abbotsford and Mission, and a text search of the GVR report returns no Squamish, Pemberton, Whistler or Furry Creek content.
Statutory building schemes and covenants apply in the neighbourhood and constrain what owners can build or alter.
Schools (SD48 Sea to Sky, Ministry-listed names): SD48 serves the corridor "from Furry Creek to D'Arcy"; there is no school in Furry Creek itself. Catchment resolved at catchment-table level (2026-11-01 top-up): SD48 Policy 501's catchment table lists Furry Creek — with Britannia Beach, Klahanie and downtown Squamish — in the catchment of Squamish Elementary (École Squamish Elementary, K–6); the Squamish-area middle and secondary schools are Don Ross Middle School (Grades 7–9) and Howe Sound Secondary School (Grades 10–12) per SD48's Long Range Facility Plan.
Recreation anchor: Furry Creek Golf & Country Club, 150 Country Club Road — an 18-hole, par-72 course of about 6,060 yards opened in 1993, with a roughly 30,000 sq ft clubhouse and the Sea to Sky Restaurant overlooking the 18th green (club's own site). The SLRD maintains Furry Creek public open spaces under its open space maintenance service.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Furry Creek

OCP — SLRD Electoral Area D Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1135-2013: (adopted October 28, 2013), with the Howe Sound East Sub-area Plan as Schedule C covering Furry Creek.
Zoning — SLRD Electoral Area D Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016: — Furry Creek zones include CD3 (Furry Creek Comprehensive Development 3), FCR residential zones, FCC1 (Furry Creek–Commercial 1) and FCC2 (Furry Creek Golf Course Commercial 2, dedicated to the golf course commercial use).
SSMUH — exempt, as the Province/SLRD state it: the Province has determined that the SLRD's master-planned communities of Britannia Beach, Furry Creek and Porteau Cove are not subject to the additional 3–6 unit SSMUH densities, because they are not within an urban containment boundary for the purposes of the SSMUH legislation; Amendment Bylaw No. 1887-2025 removed the extra densities that had briefly been added to the Furry Creek FCR3 and CD3 zones. Do not assume suite or multiplex rights — secondary rights are whatever the base zoning and the building scheme allow.
Building schemes: the SLRD records that the Furry Creek neighbourhood has existing statutory building schemes and covenants, which constrain what owners can build or alter — read the building scheme before planning changes; exterior changes, additions and even some landscaping may need scheme approval.
Hazards and development permits: expanded Development Permit Areas for Howe Sound East were adopted through OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 1717-2021 (adopted May 25, 2022), covering environmental protection and natural hazards including landslide hazard areas, excavated rock and foundation stability, seismic liquefaction and fan stability, coastal hazards and creek hazards; for the creek-fan lands the guidelines address dike design to IOD standard dike criteria and a flood construction level achieved by landfill, with habitable areas below the FCL requiring justification and variance.
Subdivision and servicing — SLRD frame, no municipal number borrowed: the SLRD provides Furry Creek-specific services — water, wastewater treatment, street lighting, solid waste disposal, open spaces maintenance, fire protection, and a dyking/drainage service — under local service bylaws (e.g., Furry Creek Dyking Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 481; Furry Creek Sewer Local Service Bylaw No. 1619).
Property taxes — RURAL regime (SLRD electoral area): properties pay provincial rural property tax plus SLRD service levies for the Furry Creek services above. Rural taxes under the Taxation (Rural Area) Act are due July 2, with a 5% penalty on amounts unpaid on July 2 and a further 5% on amounts unpaid on October 31 (s.11 regime).
Strata block (strata lots — Oliver's Landing and Ocean's Crest form): Form B within 7 days, max $35 + 25¢/page; depreciation reports on a 5-year cycle for 5+ lots since July 1, 2024; minimum 10% CRF since November 1, 2023; rental bylaws void since November 24, 2022; only 55+ age bylaws valid (SPA ss.123.1/123.2 + May 1, 2023 exemptions). A fee-simple lot carries none of this (but does carry the building scheme, above).

Good to know about Furry Creek lots

The SSMUH densities were added here, then taken back out (Jan 29, 2025 SLRD record). Extra densities briefly sat in the Furry Creek FCR3 and CD3 zones before Amendment Bylaw No. 1887-2025 removed them after the Province confirmed the master-planned communities are exempt — a listing that still markets "SSMUH potential" on a Furry Creek lot is marketing a repealed position.
Dyking is a billed local service here (Nov 1, 2026). Furry Creek carries its own dyking/drainage local service (established under Bylaw No. 481) alongside sewer (Bylaw No. 1619) — creek-fan flood protection is a line item on the lot's levy bill, not a distant regional cost.
The golf course is a zoning district, not just an amenity (Nov 1, 2026). The FCC2 zone in Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016 is dedicated to the Furry Creek Golf Course Commercial use — the course lands (opened 1993, 150 Country Club Road) are zoned commercial ground inside the same bylaw that zones the homes.
The covenant room is far larger than the built community (Jul 28, 2022). The SLRD's 2022 Lot 2 presentation records covenants allowing up to 920 homes community-wide, plus 300 hotel rooms and an 80-berth marina in the covenant room — none of it built stock. Buyers pricing "future amenities" are pricing a covenant ceiling, not a project.
There is no Furry Creek census number (Nov 1, 2026).

Duplexes and half duplexes in Furry Creek

What a duplex looks like in Furry Creek

The usual duplex form: Single-detached homes on the hillside above Howe Sound and around the golf course, with townhome and apartment forms contemplated under the CD3 comprehensive development zoning as build-out continues. Any two-unit arrangement on a Furry Creek lot is a single-title form governed by the base FCR/CD3 zoning and the neighbourhood's statutory building schemes and covenants.

Local rules that affect duplexes in Furry Creek

SSMUH position — exempt, stated exactly: The Province has determined that the slrd's master-planned communities of Britannia Beach, Furry Creek and Porteau Cove are not subject to the additional 3–6 unit SSMUH densities, because they are not within an urban containment boundary for the purposes of the SSMUH legislation; Amendment Bylaw No. 1887-2025 removed the extra densities briefly added to the Furry Creek FCR3 and CD3 zones. The provincial SSMUH minimums do not apply here — do not underwrite a Furry Creek lot on 3–6 unit rights.
Services / servicing: The slrd provides Furry Creek-specific local services — water, wastewater treatment, street lighting, solid waste disposal, open spaces maintenance, fire protection, and a dyking/drainage service — under local service bylaws (e.g., Furry Creek Dyking Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 481; Furry Creek Sewer Local Service Bylaw No. 1619).
