How Do I Determine if I need to make an application
The first thing to determine is whether or not your land is within the ALR.
You will need to know the legal description of the land.
The description can be found on the Certificate of Title or your tax or assessment notice.
Give this information to your local government office and they will determine whether or not your property is in the ALR.
If there is any doubt as to the ALR status or if you are going to be making financial or investment decisions and require confirmation or the exact location of the ALR boundary, you should contact Geographic Information Systems at the Commission.
Land within the ALR can be thought of as provincial zone in which agriculture is recognized as the priority use.
If you have land within the ALR, it means that the land is subject to the Agricultural Land Commission Act.
Subdivision and non-farm use of land in the ALR generally require an application and approval of the Agricultural Land Commission.
Certain proposals involving the removal of soil from and/or the placement of fill on ALR lands may be exempted from the application filing requirements subject to certain conditions.
For a complete list of subdivision and uses permitted outright, refer to the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation.
