The Agricultural Land Reserve is provincial farmland protection covering a large share of rural Fort Langley. Roughly 75% of the Township overall is in the ALR; the Fort Langley rural edge is overwhelmingly so. Parcels inside the ALR have heavy restrictions on subdivision, dwelling counts, accessory uses, and home size.
Recent BC ALC reforms (effective late 2021, with updated guidelines in 2024–2025) allow a second residence on most ALR parcels — parcels ≤40 ha can add a second dwelling up to ~90 m² (970 sq ft); parcels >40 ha up to ~186 m² (2,000 sq ft) — under local-government permits, no ALC application required. ALR status and the parcel-specific dwelling envelope should be pulled before any acreage offer.
