New Westminster Lots and Land: streets and boundaries
- New Westminster land is a whole-city market in BC's smallest city by area: a mainland part on the north bank of the Fraser River and Queensborough, on the eastern tip of Lulu Island, across the river and reached by the Queensborough Bridge.
- The board community "New Westminster" is the city itself, with 14 sub-areas from Brunette and Sapperton in the east to Queensborough across the river; city zoning, not board lines, decides what a lot can hold.
New Westminster Lots and Land: the housing stock
- New Westminster lots are fee-simple house lots in an almost fully built-out city; the land trade is teardown, infill and assembly lots, not greenfield subdivision.
- Since June 2026 the infill frame is city-wide: zones RGO-A (up to four units) and RGO-B (up to six units) permit infill housing on single detached and duplex properties across most of the city without a site-specific rezoning.
- Townhouse ground sits in the RT districts of Zoning Bylaw No. 6680 (2001): the newer RT-A and RT-B (at least 836.1 m² (9,000 sq. ft.) of site area, at least 20 m of frontage and lane access), plus the older RT-2 to RT-2C and RT-3, RT-3A and RT-3B.
- Subdivision and servicing run under Bylaw 7142, 2007; parcel-level works and servicing conditions are confirmed with the City for the specific parcel.
New Westminster Lots and Land: rules that affect buyers
- Small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH = small-scale multi-unit housing) needed little change here: most New Westminster residential properties already permitted a house plus a secondary suite and an accessory dwelling unit (a laneway or carriage house), so their zoning was not a provincial "restricted zone."
- The exception was duplex ground: Bylaw No. 8453, 2024 rezoned the roughly 160 "restricted zone" duplex properties to a new RD-1 district that permits duplexes to add rental secondary suites.
- Queensborough runs on a different clock: the Province extended Queensborough's SSMUH compliance date to May 4, 2029, so the mainland infill frame and the Queensborough frame are not the same at the same time.
- A secondary suite cannot be strata-titled, sold separately or used for a short-term rental, and every property with a suite pays annual secondary suite water and sewer charges.
New Westminster Lots and Land: local details a buyer would not know
- Columbia Station is the Expo Line branch point, so a Sapperton or Braid lot and a 22nd Street lot ride different branches of the same line into downtown.
- Royal Columbian Hospital at 330 E Columbia St is the only hospital in the Lower Mainland immediately adjacent to a SkyTrain station (Sapperton), which is part of why Sapperton lots carry assembly interest.
- Suites are not free to carry: the City's user-fee schedule sets an annual charge for a secondary suite ($652.72 basic rate in the Engineering User Fees and Rates Bylaw schedule, as amended by Bylaw No. 8496, 2024) on top of the main dwelling's charge.
- Application review currently runs under an Interim Development Review Framework, first endorsed in 2024 and updated in June 2026, while provincially driven policy changes are underway — expect review practice to keep moving.
New Westminster Lots and Land: development and new projects
- City-wide infill rezoning: Council adopted the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw amendments creating the RGO-A and RGO-B infill zones in June 2026. Status: adopted (as of November 3, 2026).
- Development cost charge (DCC = development cost charge) and Amenity Cost Charge update: the City consulted developers on July 9, 2025, with draft combined DCC + ACC rates (single detached shown at $199.79 per m² of parcel area in the draft table). Status: bylaw update in progress, draft rates only (as of November 3, 2026).
New Westminster Lots and Land: costs and taxes
- New Westminster's total 2026 residential tax rate is 4.79312 per $1,000 of assessed value on the City's 2026 mill-rate schedule, with the municipal portion at about 3.10387 per $1,000.
- The City's user-fee schedule sets an annual utility user charge of $1,305.46 (basic rate) for a single detached dwelling and $652.72 for a secondary suite.
New Westminster Lots and Land: getting around
- The Expo Line serves New Westminster at five stations — 22nd Street, New Westminster, Columbia, Sapperton and Braid — and Columbia is where the line branches.
- Queensborough lots depend on the Queensborough Bridge to the mainland city and the Pattullo Bridge corridor toward Surrey; there is no SkyTrain station in Queensborough.
New Westminster Lots and Land: risks and due diligence
- Floodplain position is set by sub-area zone — Queensborough Zone 1, North Arm Zone 2, Quay and Downtown Zone 3, Brunette Zone 4 — and the zone decides the flood diligence for the lot; the map does not set the flood construction level for a specific building, which is a parcel-level confirmation with the City.
