Planning and zoning
Planning on Sumas Mountain
- The City’s Sumas Mountain profile says the area follows its own rules, the Sumas Mountain Rural Land Use Bylaw (Area H).
- The Sumas Mountain Forest Service Road is looked after by the Province (Ministry of Forests), not the City.
- 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 Sumas Mountain
- Confirm ALR status and zoning. Check the ALC map and ask the City of Abbotsford how the property is zoned and what that allows.
- 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.
- Inspect the septic. Find out how old the system is and when it was last serviced, and have it inspected.
- Check the outbuildings. Ask whether barns, shops, arenas and suites were built with permits.
- 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.
- 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.
