The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is an incorporated resort village at the south end of Harrison Lake, in the Fraser Valley Regional District, surrounded by — but separate from — the District of Kent. Esplanade Avenue is the waterfront street facing the lake, and it is where the condo stock concentrates (below); Hot Springs Road is the main road in and out, running south to Agassiz.

Harrison Hot Springs real estate: your questions answered

Can I run a Harrison condo as a nightly rental?

Maybe — three layers decide it, and none is the provincial principal-residence rule (the Village is exempt as a resort region): the unit needs Tourist Accommodation zoning under Zoning Bylaw No. 1115, 2017, its own Village business licence per unit (since Dec 15, 2025), and a strata that permits short-term rentals. Industry sources record Harrison On The Lake and Oasis as permitting them and Echo Beach as allowing a 7-day minimum, while the four large Esplanade buildings are recorded as disallowing them — and for Oasis the same publisher's two pages conflict, so settle it from the registered bylaws, not a listing. The 3% MRDT also applies, with renewal due January 1, 2027.

A unit at the Harrison Beach Hotel is priced like a cheap condo. What am I actually buying?

Read the interest, not the price: a current listing for a unit in that building states 1/3 fractional ownership with two weeks of use per year and no strata fees or property taxes — a fractional share in a strata-hotel operation (Strata Hotel Registration ST487280833, managed by True Key), not a residential strata lot.

Is the village in a flood zone?

On the lakeshore and Miami River side, yes. The flood construction level is 14.55 m (Bylaw No. 1179, 2022); the existing dike crest (13.9 m) sits below the 1894 flood of record (14.1 m) and the required 15.1 m crest, and a combined fixed + deployable dike project is in detailed design for Zones 3–6. Check a building's floor elevation against the FCL before writing.

Can I rent out a Harrison condo long-term?

Yes — strata rental-restriction bylaws have been void since November 24, 2022 anywhere in BC, including the restriction element in Aqua Shores' directory line. Short-term rental is the separate, layered question in the first answer above.

How many townhouse complexes does Harrison actually have?

The village's other attached stock is apartment condos and hotel product on Esplanade Avenue.

Is the Harrison Beach Hotel a condo I can buy and live in?

Not on the offering documented: a current listing offers a 1/3 fractional ownership carrying two weeks of use per year — a fractional/undivided-interest share, not a home. Confirm the exact interest on title for any offering in that building.

Can I run a Harrison unit as a nightly rental?

Possibly, but on Village rules, not assumptions: the Village is exempt from the provincial principal-residence rule as a resort region, "Tourist Accommodation" is a commercial-zone use under Zoning Bylaw No. 1115, 2017, each dwelling unit so operated needs its own business licence since Dec 15, 2025, accommodation carries the 3% MRDT (renewal due Jan 1, 2027), and the strata's own bylaws apply on top — the Form B package settles the building's position.

What is the Harrison Beach Hotel offering I saw?

Read the exact interest on title before treating it as a unit purchase.

Is flood risk real for a lakeshore duplex here?

Yes — dike crest 13.9 m vs the 1894 flood at 14.1 m and a required 15.1 m crest; FCL 14.55 m (Bylaw No. 1179, 2022). Check the home's floor elevation against the FCL before writing.

Where do Harrison kids go to school?

Harrison Hot Springs Elementary (K–6) in the village, then Agassiz Elementary-Secondary School (7–12) in Agassiz, both SD78. A replacement elementary school inside a shared "Civic Campus" is being explored with SD78 but is conceptual and unfunded — the June 15, 2026 MOU motion failed and a new exploratory MOU is in development; never present it as a promise.

Condo buildings in Harrison Hot Springs

Harrison Hot Springs is a VILLAGE municipality inside the Fraser Valley Regional District, with its own bylaws — it is not FVRD electoral-area ground and not part of the District of Kent that surrounds it. Harrison is a CADREB (Chilliwack and District) board community with its own MLS area name, and it has no SnapStats coverage.

Aqua Shores Harrison — 120 Esplanade Avenue

A 56-unit, 7-storey condo by Preview Builders International (developer listing), concrete construction, freehold strata per current listings, which record units as Apartment/Condo with bike room, exercise centre and sauna/steam room amenities; the building directory likewise records 56 units and restrictions of pets allowed with restrictions, rentals allowed with restrictions — the rental-restriction element of that line is void since November 24, 2022.

Oasis — 470 Esplanade Avenue

A waterfront apartment-condo building: current listings record units as Apartment/Condo, built 2023, marketed as one of the village's few short-term-rental-friendly buildings (listings describe units operating as Airbnbs); a vacation-rental industry source records it as a boutique 28-unit building completed 2024 at this address. Short-term rental position CONFLICTED between sources: listings and one industry page say the building permits short-term rentals, while the same publisher's buying guide says they are prohibited.

Laguna Beach — 378 Esplanade Avenue

A lakefront apartment-condo building: current listings record units as Apartment/Condo, built 1993, with building amenities including a hot tub, exercise room, library common area, guest suite, gated underground parking and bike storage, and listing copy notes recent exterior upgrades and landscaping. Strata plan LMS787 likewise rests on that source.

Echo Beach — 328 Esplanade Avenue

A lakefront apartment-condo building: a current listing records a unit as Sub-Type Apartment and states in its copy, "Built in 1996, Echo Beach is a sought after building," one level below the penthouse floor with lake views. A vacation-rental industry source records the building's short-term rental position as a 7-day minimum.

Harrison On The Lake — 450 Esplanade Avenue

An established lakefront condo building at this address, named by a vacation-rental industry source that also records it as one of the few Esplanade buildings whose strata permits short-term rentals. A current listing records a unit as Apartment/Condo, built 1979, with pets recorded as No for that unit. The industry source describes the building as "1980s-era" against the listing's 1979 build year — year built is carried as 1979 per the current listing, with the variance noted.

Streets, schools and transit near Harrison Hot Springs condos

  • The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is an incorporated resort village at the south end of Harrison Lake, in the Fraser Valley Regional District, surrounded by — but separate from — the District of Kent. Esplanade Avenue is the waterfront street facing the lake, and it is where the condo stock concentrates (below); Hot Springs Road is the main road in and out, running south to Agassiz.
  • Where condo stock concentrates: the Esplanade Avenue strip. Every counted apartment-condo building in stands on Esplanade Avenue (120, 328, 378, 450 and 470 Esplanade), with the one documented townhouse complex on Hot Springs Road (520). The 2021 Census dwelling mix underlines how small the apartment shelf is: of 885 occupied private dwellings, apartments in buildings of fewer than five storeys were 135 (15.3%), row houses 100 (11.3%), single-detached houses 575 (65.0%), and apartments in buildings of five or more storeys 0 (0.0%).
  • The village is small and old for its size: 2021 Census population 1,905 (up from 1,468 in 2016), 885 occupied private dwellings, 715 owners (80.8%) and 165 renters (18.6%); people 65+ were 32% of the 2021 population. The Village's 2025 Interim Housing Needs Report puts need at 185 units over 5 years and 637 over 20 years.
  • The hot springs are the village's reason for being: two spring types — Potash at 40°C and Sulphur at 62°C — are pumped and cooled to supply the public mineral pool and the resort pools. The public indoor pool, the Harrison Mineral Baths at Hot Springs Road and Esplanade Avenue, is owned and operated by the Harrison Hot Springs Resort; there is no natural outdoor hot spring open to the public.
  • Schools and services: the village school is Harrison Hot Springs Elementary (K–6) at 501 Hot Springs Road (~100 students, SD78 Fraser-Cascade); grades 7–12 go to Agassiz Elementary-Secondary School in Agassiz. Grocery and everyday shopping, the arena/recreation complex and the secondary school are all in Agassiz (District of Kent), roughly a 10-minute drive south. Transit: BC Transit Route 71 (Agassiz–Harrison) runs from downtown Chilliwack through Agassiz to Harrison Hot Springs, terminus at St. Alice St/Esplanade Ave, administered by the FVRD — service is limited, check schedules per trip.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Harrison Hot Springs

  • Village plans and zoning (current — 1184 governs, not 864): Day-to-day use sits in Zoning Bylaw No. 1115, 2017, under which "Tourist Accommodation" is a commercial-zone use. The Village began an OCP and Zoning Bylaw update process in 2025, so confirm the current text with the Village before relying on a zone.
  • Short-term rentals — three layers, all local: the Village is exempt from the provincial principal-residence rule as one of BC's designated resort regions, so nightly rental runs on Village rules instead: (1) Tourist Accommodation zoning under Bylaw No. 1115, 2017; (2) since December 15, 2025, Business Licence Bylaw No. 1128 (amended by Bylaw No. 1231, 2025) requires at s. 2.1(h) a separate business licence for each dwelling unit so operated; (3) the strata's own short-term rental bylaw, building by building. Accommodation in the designated area (Village + District of Kent + FVRD Electoral Area C) also carries the 3% MRDT, whose current cycle runs to a repeal/renewal date of January 1, 2027 — confirm renewal before underwriting 2027+ accommodation income.
  • Village property taxes: 2026 rates are set by Tax Rate Bylaw No. 1238, 2026 (adopted May 4, 2026), and 2026 taxes were due Thursday, July 2, 2026 at 4:30 p.m., with the Home Owner Grant claimed yearly.
  • Manufactured-home pad rents (MHPTA): where parks are discussed, pad rent increases are capped under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act at the rate the Province publishes — 2026: 2.3% plus a proportional amount; 2027: 2.2% plus a proportional amount.

Good to know about Harrison Hot Springs condos

  • The OCP on the Village's website changed in 2025. Anything citing "OCP Bylaw 864" as current is out of date.
  • The seniors housing project stalled on provincial budget cuts (Feb 2026). The proposed 60-unit, four-storey affordable seniors project (Agassiz-Harrison Community Services) had a July 2025 council letter of intent and letters of support — but BC Housing's February 17, 2026 notice killed the 2025 Community Housing Fund round, so the application will not be advanced. The Village's own project page had staged design/permits for summer/fall 2026 only if funding were awarded. Status: unfunded proposal, no timeline.
  • Short-term rental permission in Harrison is building-by-building. One industry publisher's two pages disagree about Oasis (permitted on one, prohibited on the other), listings market Oasis units as operating Airbnbs, and Echo Beach is recorded with a 7-day minimum. The only document that settles a building's position is its registered bylaws, read with the Village's per-unit business licence rule.
  • A new elementary school is being explored — and the first MOU already failed. The current Harrison Hot Springs Elementary building is 75+ years old and over capacity. The Village and SD78 are exploring a shared "Civic Campus," but the June 15, 2026 council motion to forward a revised MOU to SD78 failed; as of Aug 10, 2026 the stage is a new exploratory MOU — conceptual and unfunded, no timeline. Present it as a possibility, never a promise.
  • The dike project is mid-design, and the numbers are stark. Crest 13.9 m, 1894 flood of record 14.1 m, flood construction level 14.55 m, required crest 15.1 m — and the village floods from the south only if Kent's Dikes A–C fail. In September 2025 Council directed detailed design for a deployable waterfront dike for Zones 3–6 (pump station to Rendall Park). Lakeshore buyers should ask about timing and any cost-sharing before writing.
  • The village runs on events. The Harrison Festival of the Arts held its 47th edition July 10–19, 2026, and Sasquatch Days ran June 13–14, 2026, co-hosted by the Village and the Sts'ailes Nation — peak-season crowds are part of owning on or near Esplanade.
  • There are no board statistics for Harrison. No Harrison Hot Springs row exists in SnapStats' Fraser Valley report, and CADREB publishes board-wide statistics only — pricing here rests on comparable sales work, not a stats sheet.

The province-wide rules are on one page: BC condo buying rules.

  • Board ground: Harrison Hot Springs is a CADREB (Chilliwack and District) board community with its own MLS area name. CADREB publishes no area statistics and there is no SnapStats coverage — no Harrison row exists in the SnapStats FVR September 2026 report and no parent community row applies.
  • The 2021 Census dwelling mix (via the Village's 2025 Interim Housing Needs Report): of 885 occupied private dwellings — single-detached 575 (65.0%), apartments under five storeys 135 (15.3%), row houses 100 (11.3%), semi-detached 45 (5.1%), apartments of five or more storeys 0 (0.0%).
  • Population and need: 1,905 people in 2021 (up from 1,468 in 2016); 715 owners (80.8%) and 165 renters (18.6%); people 65+ were 32% of the 2021 population; the Housing Needs Report puts need at 185 units over 5 years and 637 over 20 years.
  • Schools (SD78 Fraser-Cascade): Harrison Hot Springs Elementary (K–6), 501 Hot Springs Road, approximately 100 students, is the village school; students then feed to Agassiz Elementary-Secondary School (7–12) in Agassiz. The elementary building is 75+ years old and over capacity; a replacement school inside a shared Village/SD78 "Civic Campus" is at concept stage only — the June 15, 2026 council motion to forward a revised MOU to SD78 failed, and a new exploratory MOU was the stage at August 10, 2026; funding is not secured and no timeline is published. Catchments beyond the village school itself: confirm the address with SD78.
  • Transit: BC Transit Route 71 (Agassiz–Harrison) runs from downtown Chilliwack through Agassiz to Harrison Hot Springs (terminus St. Alice St / Esplanade Ave), administered by the FVRD with BC Transit; service is limited — check schedules per trip.
  • The hot springs: two spring types — Potash at 40°C, Sulphur at 62°C — are pumped and cooled to supply the public mineral pool and the resort pools; the public-access indoor pool is the Harrison Mineral Baths at Hot Springs Road and Esplanade Avenue, owned and operated by the Harrison Hot Springs Resort, and no natural outdoor hot spring is open to the public.
  • Nearby areas: Agassiz (District of Kent) about 10 minutes south, Harrison Mills, Sts'ailes to the northwest, Chilliwack via Highway 9.
  • Hospital and everyday services are in Agassiz (District of Kent facilities); the village strip on Esplanade Avenue and Hot Springs Road carries cafés, shops and hotels, and grocery and everyday services are in Agassiz.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Harrison Hot Springs

  • The current consolidated Official Community Plan is Bylaw No. 1184, 2022, which repealed OCP Bylaw No. 864 (2007). Day-to-day use sits in Zoning Bylaw No. 1115, 2017 ("Tourist Accommodation" is a commercial-zone use). The Village's 2025 Interim Housing Needs Report commits the Village to reviewing/updating the OCP to align with 20-year housing needs.
  • Short-term rentals: nightly rental runs on Village zoning/licensing, not the provincial principal-residence rule — the Province lists the Village among the resort regions exempt from that requirement. Since Dec 15, 2025, Business Licence Bylaw No. 1128 (amended by Bylaw No. 1231, 2025) requires at s. 2.1(h) a separate Business Licence for each Dwelling Unit so operated. Accommodation also carries the 3% MRDT (designated recipient Tourism Harrison; current cycle Year 5 of 5, 2022–2026, with a repeal/renewal date of January 1, 2027 — confirm renewal before underwriting 2027+ accommodation income).
  • Flood — the village's first diligence item: the existing dike crest is 13.9 m against the 1894 flood of record at 14.1 m and a required 15.1 m crest; the flood construction level is 14.55 m (Bylaw No. 1179, 2022) and the 1:200-year lake flood elevation is 13.95 m. In September 2025 Council directed detailed design for a deployable waterfront dike system for Zones 3–6 (pump station to Rendall Park); Miami River flooding is handled by the pump station/floodbox, upgraded 2016 for a 200-year Miami flow. Check any lakeshore unit's floor elevation against the FCL before writing.

Good to know about Harrison Hot Springs townhomes

  • A "condo" listing on Esplanade can be two weeks a year. The Harrison Beach Hotel's documented offering is a 1/3 fractional share with two weeks of annual use — the sharpest tenure trap in the village, and the reason every Esplanade offering needs its interest read on title first.
  • The dike is below the flood it was built for. Crest 13.9 m; the 1894 flood of record reached 14.1 m; provincial standards require 15.1 m. Council's answer is a combined fixed + deployable project, with detailed design for Zones 3–6 directed in September 2025 — lakeshore pricing conversations start here, not at the view.
  • The hotel tax renews — or doesn't — on January 1, 2027. The 3% MRDT that accommodation income carries is in Year 5 of its 2022–2026 cycle with a repeal/renewal date of January 1, 2027; underwriting 2027+ nightly-rental income without confirming renewal is guessing.
  • The public hot pool belongs to the Resort. The Harrison Mineral Baths at Hot Springs Road and Esplanade is owned and operated by the Harrison Hot Springs Resort, and there is no natural outdoor hot spring open to the public — visitors must not enter the water beside the source building.
  • Harrison's attached market has no stats sheet at all. CADREB publishes board-wide figures only and SnapStats does not report the village — a Harrison pricing claim that quotes a "local median" is quoting something no published source produced.

Lots and land in Harrison Hot Springs

What trades here

  • What land actually trades here: infill and resort product under the OCP — lakefront and near-lake detached homes, townhouses (planned near Lillooet Avenue east per the 864-era OCP concept), condo apartments and strata-hotel units in the village centre, and older cottages in the central/south residential area.
  • Fee-simple lots: small village lots in the core grid and larger parcels on the east/south fringe, with freehold the ordinary tenure for detached homes and cottages; a fee-simple lot carries no strata corporation, no Form B and no strata fees. No bare-land strata lot offered as a vacant lot is confirmed for this area.
  • It is built townhouse stock, named here only so a land reader does not mistake it for lot inventory.
  • Tenure record only — never land stock, never a counted building here: Harrison Beach Hotel — 160 Esplanade Avenue, a strata hotel (Strata Hotel Registration: ST487280833, managed by True Key Hotels & Resorts) — a current listing documents a 1/3 fractional-ownership offering ("Owner receives 2 weeks yearly for their use"). A fractional share is a tenure record, not a lot and not land ownership; confirm the exact interest on title before treating any offering there as an ordinary unit.
  • Pad-tenure frame — not lot stock, not land ownership: Glencoe Motel and Trailer Park (259 Hot Springs Road) and Harrison Holiday Park (973 Hot Springs Road) are manufactured-home pad-rental product (FVRD 2020 inventory: Glencoe 27 pads/mobile homes; Harrison Holiday Park 12 pads).
  • ALR edge: a small ALR fringe exists on the village's east side. ALR status is per-parcel — check the ALC maps before pricing any fringe parcel as buildable.
  • Floodplain character: the village sits on the Harrison Lake shore and the Miami River; the flood construction level is 14.55 m (Bylaw No. 1179, 2022) and the 1:200-year lake flood elevation is 13.95 m.

Streets, schools and transit near Harrison Hot Springs lots

  • Board position: Harrison Hot Springs is a CADREB board community with its own MLS® area name; CADREB publishes board-wide statistics only.
  • Nearby areas: Agassiz (District of Kent) about 10 minutes south, Harrison Mills (Kent), Sts'ailes (Chehalis) to the northwest, Chilliwack via Highway 9.
  • Land shape: small village lots in the core grid; larger parcels on the east/south fringe; the OCP concept builds the Village Centre and Lakeshore as a compact, pedestrian resort core around the hot springs, with a lakeshore park/walkway extension from the hot springs source site west to the marinas east.
  • Population and housing need (2021 Census, via the 2025 Interim Housing Needs Report): population 1,905 in 2021, up from 1,468 in 2016; 885 occupied private dwellings, 1,860 persons in private households; housing need 185 units / 5 years, 637 / 20 years.
  • Schools (SD78 Fraser-Cascade, Ministry-listed names): Harrison Hot Springs Elementary (K–6) at 501 Hot Springs Road, approximately 100 students, is the village school; students then feed to Agassiz Elementary-Secondary School (7–12) in Agassiz.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Harrison Hot Springs

  • OCP — Village of Harrison Hot Springs Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1184, 2022: (consolidated to November 3, 2025), which repealed OCP Bylaw No. 864, 2007. The Village began an OCP and Zoning Bylaw update process in 2025, so confirm the current text with the Village before relying on a zone.
  • Zoning — Zoning Bylaw No. 1115, 2017, under which "Tourist Accommodation" is a commercial-zone use.
  • SSMUH / subdivision potential — as the jurisdiction states it: Whether added density applies to a given lot is per-parcel with the Village.
  • Flood rules: flood construction level 14.55 m (Bylaw No. 1179, 2022); Council minutes (April 22, 2025) record the existing dike crest at 13.9 m — below the 1894 flood of record at 14.1 m and the 15.1 m crest provincial standards require; in September 2025 Council directed detailed design for a deployable waterfront dike system for Zones 3–6 (pump station to Rendall Park). Check a lot's floor elevation against the FCL before writing.
  • Short-term rentals — Village rules, not the provincial rule: the Village is exempt from the provincial principal-residence rule as a designated resort region; nightly rental runs on (1) Tourist Accommodation zoning under Bylaw No. 1115, 2017, (2) since December 15, 2025, Business Licence Bylaw No. 1128 (amended by Bylaw No. 1231, 2025) requiring at s. 2.1(h) a separate business licence for each dwelling unit so operated, and (3) the strata's own short-term bylaw where strata applies. Accommodation in the designated area (Village + District of Kent + FVRD Electoral Area C) also carries the 3% MRDT, current cycle to a repeal/renewal date of January 1, 2027 — confirm renewal before underwriting 2027+ accommodation income.
  • ALR block: subdivision within the ALR requires Agricultural Land Commission approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. Caps: principal ≤500 m², suite within principal only, additional residence 90 m² (≤40 ha) / 186 m² (>40 ha). Check a parcel on the ALC maps.

Good to know about Harrison Hot Springs lots

  • The OCP on the Village's website changed in 2025 (Nov 1, 2026). Anything citing "OCP Bylaw 864" as current is out of date.
  • The dike is below the flood it was built for (Apr 22, 2025 minutes). Crest 13.9 m; the 1894 flood of record reached 14.1 m; provincial standards require 15.1 m; flood construction level 14.55 m — and the village floods from the south only if Kent's Dikes A–C fail. In September 2025 Council directed detailed design for a deployable waterfront dike for Zones 3–6 (pump station to Rendall Park).
  • The public hot pool belongs to the Resort (Nov 1, 2026). The Harrison Mineral Baths at Hot Springs Road and Esplanade Avenue is owned and operated by the Harrison Hot Springs Resort, and there is no natural outdoor hot spring open to the public — visitors must not enter the water beside the source building. Two spring types — Potash at 40°C, Sulphur at 62°C — are pumped and cooled to supply the public pool and the resort pools.
  • The village runs on events (2026). The Harrison Festival of the Arts held its 47th edition July 10–19, 2026, and Sasquatch Days ran June 13–14, 2026, co-hosted by the Village and the Sts'ailes Nation — peak-season crowds are part of owning on or near Esplanade.
