Red Deer County Land Use: Zoning, Permits & Setbacks

Understanding Red Deer County's Land Use Bylaw is a critical step before buying an acreage or raw land. This document governs what you can build, where you can build it, and what activities are permitted on your property. Key aspects to review include:

  • Zoning Districts: The bylaw divides the county into zones (e.g., Agricultural, Residential, etc.). Your property's zone determines its primary use, such as farming or housing.
  • Permitted vs. Discretionary Uses: Each zone has uses that are automatically allowed ("permitted") and others that require special approval ("discretionary"). This is especially important if you plan to run a home business or have livestock.
  • Setback Requirements: These rules dictate how far buildings, wells, and septic systems must be from property lines, roads, and bodies of water.
  • Development Permits: A permit is almost always required for new construction, adding outbuildings (like a barn or workshop), or changing the use of the land.

For complete details and to ensure your plans comply with local regulations, we strongly recommend visiting the official county resource. View the Red Deer County Land Use Bylaw here.

You’ll find fantastic acreage listings throughout the region, especially around popular communities like Sylvan Lake, Innisfail, Penhold, and Bowden. As the heart of Central Alberta, the entire county offers scenic rural subdivisions with a variety of settings.

What are these acreages typically used for?

Properties in Red Deer County are perfect for a range of lifestyles. Many are set up as productive hobby farms or professional equestrian properties with barns and pastures, while others serve as private retreats for quiet country living.

What types of properties are available?

The market is diverse. You'll find many move-in-ready homes, including highly sought-after bungalows, as well as vacant land for sale that is perfect for building a custom home from the ground up.

Can I find acreages for sale by owner (FSBO)?

While some "for sale by owner" properties occasionally come on the market, the vast majority are listed on the MLS®. Working with a rural real estate specialist ensures you see all available properties and navigate the unique complexities of an acreage purchase, like well and septic inspections.
