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 a property 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 if the land is Agricultural or Country Residential to ensure your plans are a permitted use.
  • Development Permits: Most new construction or changes in land use require a permit before you can apply for building permits.
  • Subdividing: Splitting a parcel is a complex process governed by strict policies; we can help investigate the potential.
🏗️Building Rules & Structures
  • Setbacks & Coverage: Regulations dictate how close you can build to property lines and maximum lot coverage.
  • Accessory Buildings: Specific rules apply to detached garages, workshops, or barns, including height restrictions.
  • Environmental Overlays: Properties near rivers or sensitive areas may have additional building restrictions.
💧Water, Wells & Septic
  • Water Source: We help you review water quality/quantity reports for drilled wells, cisterns, or co-ops.
  • Septic Standards: Alberta Health Services (AHS) sets strict standards for the placement of PSDS systems.
  • Inspections: It is essential to have existing well and septic systems professionally inspected as a condition of your offer.

Navigating these details is complex. Let an experienced rural specialist guide your due diligence.

    The Bragg Creek Trifecta: many properties have one of these three coveted things, but very few have it all! First, a beautiful home. Redesigned by award winning, internationally acclaimed designer, John Haddon, the 3968 sq. ft. of living space was taken down to the studs and rebuilt, inside and out, with the finest materials and craftsmanship. Second, incredible views of the mountains and forest. Given the seclusion and privacy, not a single curtain on any of the 55 windows impedes the breathtaking views afforded from every room. The third and most rare attribute of all, the thing that makes this “the hat trick”, is direct access to Kananaskis Country! That’s right, there is a private gate that connects to one of the most famous, beautiful, backcountry areas in Alberta, where you can hike or bike or ride for days. This home, sitting on 23 acres, is part of a small exclusive development of properties which span a ridge and directly border K-Country - the biggest backyard of all! Entering the home, the first thing you notice is the airy interior space, with cathedral ceilings and huge windows. The slate foyer gives way to Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, flowing throughout the balance of the home. Resisting the urge to immediately rush to the windows and deck system, to the left is the dining room and kitchen with quartz countertops and high-end appliances. Further on are two high-ceiling bedrooms, each with their own access to the wrap-around deck and connected by a large Jack and Jill 5-piece en suite. The upstairs is entirely devoted to the primary suite, which is unparalleled, with the huge windows and private deck all giving a new perspective to the vistas beyond. The 6-piece bathroom and walk-in closet complete this lofty sanctuary. The walk out lower level features a bar, exercise room, office area, expansive rec room with gas fireplace, 3-piece bath, and French doors to the walk-out patio and huge deck beyond. The property is completed by an insulated and drywalled triple car garage. You’re intrigued, I can tell, and further investigation is needed. Explore using our streaming video and 3-D tour; and then take the next step and make the Trifecta your own. More details

Frequently Asked Questions: Foothills County Acreages

1. How far are Okotoks acreages from Calgary?

Most acreages in the DeWinton or Heritage Pointe areas are within a 10-to-15 minute drive of Calgary's southern edge. Properties further south toward High River or west toward Diamond Valley typically see a 25-to-35 minute commute. Rural residents often use Highway 2, 2A, or the 22X (Stoney Trail) for direct city access.


2. Can I get high-speed internet on a rural property in Foothills County?

Yes. While traditional cable fiber is limited, the majority of Foothills County is now covered by high-speed satellite services like Starlink and fixed-wireless providers. Many newer "Country Residential" subdivisions are also beginning to see dedicated fiber-to-the-home installations as infrastructure expands.


3. How many horses can I keep on my acreage?

Animal units are strictly governed by Foothills County’s land-use bylaws and depend on the size of your parcel. Generally, on properties larger than 3 acres, you are permitted a specific number of livestock units. It is essential to verify the specific zoning (e.g., Agricultural vs. Country Residential) before purchasing for equestrian use.


4. How does garbage collection and snow removal work?

Rural residents are responsible for their own garbage disposal, typically utilizing regional transfer stations or hiring private collection services. Foothills County manages snow removal on public roads, but clearing your private driveway is the responsibility of the landowner, often requiring a tractor or a specialized plow service.


5. Are school buses available for rural students?

Yes, both the Foothills School Division and Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools provide rural busing services throughout the county. These routes are well-established and serve most residential acreage clusters, bringing students directly to schools in Okotoks, High River, or Black Diamond.
