ALR, water & zoning across the Fraser Valley
The Fraser Valley contains a large share of BC's Agricultural Land Reserve. Productive lowland soils are heavily protected, and non-farm use, subdivision and exclusion are tightly regulated by the Agricultural Land Commission. Development pressure is intense given proximity to Metro Vancouver, which makes confirming ALR status a central step in any purchase.
Water is comparatively abundant relative to BC's interior — river, ditch and aquifer systems support irrigation — but abundance does not mean automatic rights. Buyers must still verify water licences under the Water Sustainability Act, well records, and any drainage-ditch maintenance obligations that come with lowland parcels.
