Fraser Valley Map Search

Most municipal GIS maps follow a similar logic. Start with the parcel layer — the solid lines showing lot boundaries. Click a parcel and you'll typically get an info window with the address, lot size, and PID.

Then turn on the layers that matter: zoning (what's allowed to be built), OCP (what the city wants the area to become), ALR (whether it's protected farmland), flood plain, and any environmentally sensitive area overlays.

Watch for setbacks and easements — they shrink the buildable area on a lot, sometimes a lot. A 10,000 square foot lot with a 30-foot riparian setback isn't really 10,000 buildable.

If something looks off, call the city's planning department. Most are surprisingly helpful.

Interactive Map Search

Our interactive map search tool empowers you to explore properties visually across the entire region, discovering neighbourhoods and listings you might otherwise miss. This powerful feature lets you search by drawing custom boundaries, filtering by price, property type, and features while seeing results update instantly on the map.

Buyers appreciate the ability to explore multiple areas simultaneously, compare neighbourhoods side-by-side, and understand geographic relationships between work, schools, and amenities that matter to their lifestyle. The map reveals insights like proximity to parks, transit, beaches, or highways that traditional searches can't easily show. You can zoom from broad regional views to street-level detail, save favourite searches, and receive alerts when new properties match your criteria. The map search helps visualize possibilities and narrow options efficiently. Ready to start exploring?
