BC省禁止建农地豪宅 | No More Luxury Homes In Farmland

BC省禁止建农地豪宅 | No More Luxury Homes In Farmland: On Feb.23rd.2019; the provincial government has announced new legislation – banned ‘mega mansions’ on farmland ( in BC, luxury homes on agricultural land reserve (ALR) has officially been banned).

In Nov.2018, Bill 52 was introduced – any new home on ALR must less than 5,400 sq.ft of its floor area. But the owner can still apply for the larger size of the home if they can provide direct evidence that convinces the government – a larger home really help your farm business.

“I’m very happy to see this law come into full force and effect. This new law will encourage farming and better protect farmland by banning mega-mansions, stopping the illegal dumping of waste on farmland and reinstating the one-zone system,” said BC Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham in a statement.

For applicants who had all of their Agricultural Land Commission permits before 23rd.Feb; when the new regulations became law, will be grandfathered under the old system, but they must begin substantial construction no later than November 5 of 2019.

Vancouver Realtor’s perspective: welcome this legislation; a farm is a farm; please not to use it build a super-luxury house, and paying less property tax on ALR. We should save more farmlands to grow more vegetables or fruits for local people.

If you drive all the way down to Steveston from No.2 road Richmond, we will probably see a lot of constructions around this area – farm owners start building their dream houses – the castle.

BC省新法例 – 农地豪宅被禁止了


BC省禁止建农地豪宅|农田就是农田:2月23日至2019年;省政府已宣布新的立法 - 禁止在农田上建筑
“大型豪宅”(在卑诗省,农业土地储备(ALR)的豪宅已被正式禁止)。

在2018年11月,52号法案被引入 -  ALR的任何新房屋面积不得超过5,400平方英尺。但是,如果所有者可以
提供直接证据说服政府,那么所有者仍然可以申请 - 前提是您的大的房屋真的有助于您的农场生意。 

“我很高兴看到这项法律充分发挥作用。这项新法律将鼓励农业,通过禁止大型豪宅,停止非法倾倒农田和恢复
农地区域来更好地保护农田,“BC省农业部长Lana Popham在一份声明中表示。

之前的申请者(在2月23号之前向农委会申请的地主),将在旧制度下豁免,但必须在2019年11月5日之前
开始实质建您的新农场房子。

现在实施的其他变化包括限制清除农田土壤,并增加对ALR中倾倒建筑垃圾和其他有害填料的处罚。

此外,ALR已作为单一区域重新统一,以确保一致的规则,并为所有省级ALR土地提供强有力的保护。这意味着市政府产生的所有ALR政策都被有效地覆盖。

新政策的实施是为了响应越来越多的公众呼吁政府采取措施,将越来越多的大型ALR房产转变为超大型豪华住宅,特别是在低陆平原的South of Fraser等社区,如列治文,素里和Chilliwack等等。

举个例子: 当地人都知道的素里cloverdale地区的超级农地豪宅,占地面积就高达11,000平方尺。

由于之前很多建筑在农地上的豪宅都可以交付很少的物业税, 所以很多房屋买家选择在农地上盖豪宅。

根据省政府的法规,全省应该保留47,000平方公里或省总土地面积的5%用于农业用途。这相当于大温哥华地区17倍以上的土地面积,包括北岸流域。

近年来,根据BC省的数据,一公顷(2.47英亩)的土豆平均产量约为31,000公斤,菠菜为15,000公斤,蔓越莓为18,000公斤,草莓为6,000公斤。

温哥华地产经纪观点:欢迎这一立法;农场是农场; 请不要使用它建造一个超豪华的房子,并在ALR上支付更少的房产税。
