Homes and land

What to look at in a Poplar property

Poplar mixes farmland and homes, so the questions depend on what you are buying.

Acreage

Acreage1 to 10 acres

Sizes
1 to 4.99 acres, and 5 to 10 acres
Look at
How much of the land you can use (versus trees or wet ground), drainage, access and fencing
Ask
How much water the well gives and how clean it is, how old the septic is and when it was last serviced, and whether the land is in the ALR
Farms

Farms10 acres and up

Sizes
10 to 19.99 acres, and 20 acres and up
Look at
Soil, drainage, barns, fencing and water for animals or crops
Ask
What the zoning allows for farming, and whether BC Assessment lists it as a farm (farm class, which lowers property tax)
Horse properties

HorsesHouses on 5+ acres

Look at
The barn, the riding arena surface, how the paddocks drain and how manure is handled
Ask
Whether barns and arenas were built with permits, and what the zone allows for animals
Watch for
Riding trails you plan to use that cross someone else’s land

Planning and zoning

Planning in Poplar

Poplar has no neighbourhood plan of its own, so the City’s Official Community Plan (OCP) and the ALR rules apply property by property.

  • Abbotsford’s adopted neighbourhood plans cover only UDistrict, City Centre, Historic Downtown and McKee, so Poplar has no neighbourhood plan of its own.
  • About 72% of Abbotsford’s land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve. ALR status is set property by property, so check the exact address.
  • The Official Community Plan is Bylaw 2600-2016.

See the City’s community planning page and the Agricultural Land Commission.

Before you buy in Poplar

  1. Confirm ALR status and zoning. Check the ALC map and ask the City of Abbotsford how the property is zoned and what that allows.
  2. Test the water. If the home is on a well, test how much water it gives and how clean it is, and ask for past test results.
  3. Inspect the septic. Find out how old the system is and when it was last serviced, and have it inspected.
  4. Check the outbuildings. Ask whether barns, shops, arenas and suites were built with permits.
  5. Read the title. Look for any rules or rights that others have over the land (covenants, rights of way and easements), including any access you rely on.
  6. Check for streams. Rules about how close you can build to a stream can limit where you build. Ask the City of Abbotsford about any watercourse on or near the land.
