Important: Check local bylaws as some municipalities require minimum 10 acres for horses or livestock. Rocky View County requires 1.77 acres minimum for one horse, plus additional acreage for each additional animal. Chickens also come with their own set of rules depending on location.

What's the difference between agricultural and residential zoning?

Zoning significantly impacts what you can do with your property:

Agricultural Zoning:

  • Lower property taxes (often 50-70% less) 
  • Allows farming, livestock, and agricultural buildings 
  • May restrict non-agricultural businesses 
  • Often requires minimum acreage (varies by municipality)

Residential/Country Residential: 

  • Higher property taxes but more flexible land use 
  • May allow home-based businesses 
  • Recreational horses usually permitted 
  • May have restrictions on farm buildings and livestock

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

What utilities and services are available?

Acreage properties often have different utility setups than city homes:

Water Supply:

  • Private well (most common) - test water quality and flow rate
  • Shared well systems - understand agreements and costs
  • Municipal water (rare) - available in some developments

Sewage:

  • Septic system (most common) - requires regular pumping
  • Holding tank - requires frequent pump-outs

Power and Gas:
