Langley Farms & Agricultural Land

Langley's agricultural lands and farms represent exceptional opportunities for buyers seeking rural lifestyle, investment potential, or operational farming ventures. The Township of Langley offers diverse agricultural properties from small hobby farms to large-scale operations, with fertile soil, established infrastructure, and strong farming heritage. Buyers appreciate the area's balance of rural character and urban proximity, with Vancouver accessibility while maintaining peaceful country living.

Properties range from bare land for development to fully operational farms with barns, equipment, and established businesses in various agricultural sectors. The region's mild climate, supportive agricultural community, and farmers markets create ideal conditions for diverse farming pursuits. Many properties feature stunning mountain views, pastoral settings, and the space to pursue equestrian interests, viticulture, or sustainable farming practices. Whether you're an experienced farmer or seeking rural investment, I can help navigate zoning, water rights, and market conditions—contact me for available farms and recent agricultural land sales. For non-farm rural parcels, also browse Langley acreages for sale. Compare the wider Fraser Valley farms inventory when Langley stock is thin.

Is this property in the ALR?

Type an address in Surrey, Langley (City or Township) or Abbotsford to see its ALR status, zoning, lot size and other public map checks. Anywhere else, send me the address and I'll look it up.

Common questions

Can a Langley farm have a second dwelling?

On ALR land, one additional detached residence may be permitted without an ALC application where the conditions are met — 90 m² or less on parcels of 40 ha or smaller, 186 m² or less on parcels larger than 40 ha — and Township bylaws must also permit it.

What does water diligence look like on a Langley farm purchase?

Search GWELLS for the well record, and if the operation irrigates, confirm the water licence position — non-domestic groundwater use requires a licence under the Water Sustainability Act. Septic systems must comply with the Sewerage System Regulation, with work by an Authorized Person only.

How big can a house be on ALR land in Langley?

A principal residence permitted without an ALC application must have a total floor area of 500 m² or less, with no more than 1,000 m² of fill placed for its construction; a secondary suite is permitted only inside the principal residence.

What should I check before buying a farm in Langley Agricultural Mls?

Check the ALR status, water source and licences, drainage and flood history, the buildings and any quota or production licences that do or do not transfer with the land. Poultry and egg production in BC are supply-managed, so a sale of the farm does not automatically include quota.

What is the ALR and does it apply to farms in Langley Agricultural Mls?

The Agricultural Land Reserve is farmland protected by the provincial Agricultural Land Commission. Farm use is generally allowed on ALR land, but subdividing, adding homes or using the land for non-farm purposes usually needs approval, so check a property's ALR status before you offer.

Langley Farms: what the ground is and what governs it

Scope and area context

  • A home not connected to a community sewer must use an onsite sewage disposal system that complies with the Sewerage System Regulation, and only an Authorized Person can design, install, repair, maintain or inspect a sewerage system (Fraser Health).

Local rules that affect acreage buyers

  • Township zoning: Township of Langley Zoning Bylaw No. 2500 applies across the Township, and Township SSMUH implementation was by Bylaw No. 6020 (November 18, 2024).

Good to know

  • Farm class is an income test, not a zoning label: a parcel can be ALR, zoned rural and still lose farm classification if the operation's gross income misses its size tier — and the filing deadline is October 31 every cycle.

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

Sources for the acreage notes on Langley Farms

Langley Farms and Acreages: streets and boundaries

  • This page covers the same Township farm belt as langley-farms, read from the buyer's side: 316 square kilometres (km²), Fraser River north, 0 Avenue and the United States border south.

Langley Farms and Acreages: the housing stock

  • That pattern collides with the RU-2 minimum: a Council report for 753 – 264 Street states Rural Zone RU-2 and the Rural Plan Agriculture/Countryside designation both carry an 8.0 ha minimum lot size.
  • Agricultural production area fell over the strategy period: the Strategy records area in production decreasing from 14,978 ha in 2011 to 10,870 ha in 2016.

Langley Farms and Acreages: rules that affect buyers

  • A second dwelling in the ALR is size-capped, not discretionary: the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC = Agricultural Land Commission) referral letter states residences must comply with 500 square metres (m²) for a principal residence and 90 m² for an additional residence, and non-compliant residences require Commission approval by a non-adhering residential use application.

Langley Farms and Acreages: local details a buyer would not know

  • Irrigation can run around the clock lawfully: the Province's irrigation factsheet states irrigation equipment may operate 24 hours a day during the crop-growing season.
  • Water applied has a ceiling in practice: the same factsheet states the amount applied should not exceed the climatic moisture deficit or what the soil can store within the crop rooting depth.
  • Intake screens are a legal detail on fish-bearing water: the factsheet states the federal Fisheries Act requires irrigation pumps and intakes on fish-bearing sources to be properly screened.
  • A farmer's dwelling gets a specific tax treatment: BC Assessment notes a farmer's dwelling in a rural area is exempt from provincial general property taxes but subject to school taxes.

Langley Farms and Acreages: development and new projects

  • ALR consolidation and road dedication, 753 – 264 Street, Township of Langley: consolidation of the lot with an adjacent parcel, with dedication of a gazetted 8 Avenue segment containing part of the South Langley Regional Trail. Status: Council report April 29, 2024; staff recommended forwarding to the ALC (as of November 3, 2026).

Langley Farms and Acreages: costs and taxes

  • The 2025 total tax rate a Langley buyer can verify is 3.34910 per $1,000 for Class 1 Residential, with the municipal portion at 1.87580, per the Township 2025 tax rates sheet.
  • Class 9 land gets a school-tax break: 50 per cent of the assessed value of a Class 9 parcel is exempt from school taxes, per BC Assessment citing the School Act.
  • Water carries an annual rental: the Province states most water users must apply for the right to use water and pay an annual rental fee for that use.

Langley Farms and Acreages: risks and due diligence

  • Check the water licence's purpose and quantity against the farm plan: licences are purpose-specific under the Water Sustainability Act, and a domestic-only authorization does not cover irrigation.
  • Check existing fill and soil removal for compliance: the ALC warns uses and fill placement or removal in the ALR must comply with the Act, Regulation and Commission resolutions, so undocumented fill is a title-and-compliance risk.
