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.
