Glen Valley & County LineBritish Columbia

Glen Valley is a farming district on the south shore of the Fraser River in the northeast of the Township of Langley, east of Fort Langley and north of Highway 1. The Township's eastern boundary, near 276 Street, cuts through it, so part of the district lies in Abbotsford. The Township publishes no Glen Valley boundary and no neighbourhood plan, and OpenStreetMap places its centre near 272 Street and 88 Avenue.

The market is an acreage market, and the Agricultural Land Reserve decides what a parcel can become. Between 248 Street and the Township's eastern boundary, north of 76 Avenue, about 87% of the land is in the reserve and about 97% is zoned in the Township's rural family. RU-5 covers about half of it, RU-2 about a fifth, and RU-7 and RU-3 about a tenth each. The zoning bylaw text for each code sets permitted uses.

The ALR Use Regulation (BC Reg 30/2019, section 34.3, in force since December 31, 2021) allows one additional residence on local permits alone if the parcel has exactly one house when building starts. On a parcel of 40 hectares or less, the principal residence may be 500 m² (5,382 sq ft) and the additional one 90 m² (969 sq ft). Township bylaws can restrict it further.

For schools, this is School District 35 (Langley). On the district's September 2025 catchment map the Township side of Glen Valley sits inside the D.W. Poppy Secondary catchment, with no middle school catchment drawn over it. Elementary catchments follow addresses, so the school locator decides for one lot.

About 87% of the Township land between 248 Street and the eastern boundary, north of 76 Avenue, is in the Agricultural Land Reserve. ALR parcels carry restrictions on subdivision, dwelling counts, accessory uses and home size.

The ALR Use Regulation allows one additional residence on local permits alone if the parcel has exactly one house when building starts: on a parcel of 40 hectares or less, a principal residence up to 500 m² (5,382 sq ft) and an additional one up to 90 m² (969 sq ft); above 40 hectares, an additional residence up to 186 m² (2,002 sq ft). Township bylaws can restrict it further, and what one parcel allows is parcel-specific.

Glen Valley is rural, and Fort Langley village is about 8 km west in a straight line. Glen Valley Regional Park, a Metro Vancouver park, runs along the Fraser on the district's north and east sides, partly across the boundary in Abbotsford.
