An Acreage Buyer's Checklist for Foothills County Land Use

Before you buy, it’s crucial to complete your due diligence. Understanding the Foothills County Land Use Bylaw is the key to ensuring the property you love can accommodate your vision—whether you plan to build a shop, keep animals, or run a home-based business.

📜Zoning & Development Permits
  • Verify Zoning: Confirm the property's zoning (e.g., Agricultural, Country Residential) to ensure your plans are a permitted or discretionary use.
  • Development Permits: Most new construction, additions, or changes in land use require a Development Permit before you can apply for building permits.
  • Subdividing Land: Thinking of splitting a parcel? This is a complex process governed by strict policies. We can help you investigate the potential.
🏗️Building Rules & Structures
  • Setbacks & Coverage: Regulations dictate how close structures can be to property lines and the maximum percentage of the lot you can cover.
  • Accessory Buildings: Rules apply for building a detached garage, workshop, or barn, including size and height restrictions.
  • Environmental Overlays: Properties near rivers, streams, or sensitive areas may have additional building restrictions to protect the environment.
💧Water, Wells & Septic
  • Water Source: Is the property on a drilled well, cistern, or a local co-op? We'll help you review water quality and quantity reports.
  • Well & Septic Regulations: Alberta Health Services (AHS) sets strict standards for the placement and installation of new wells and septic systems.
  • System Inspections: It is essential to have existing well and septic systems professionally inspected as a condition of your offer.
