Agricultural Zoning:

  • Lower property taxes (often 50-70% less)

Residential/Country Residential: 

  • Higher property taxes but more flexible land use 
  • May allow home-based businesses 
  • Recreational horses usually permitted

Always verify zoning and bylaws before purchasing, regulations vary significantly between municipalities and location within the municipality.
