How do I know if a property is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR)?

To see whether or not a property is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) go to the online Web Map and search the property by scrolling, using an address or parcel identifier (PID). Once you have located the property, use the 'identify' tool (top left) and click on the property. Information should populate on the left with information like the zoning, and OCP designation. If a property is in the ALR you will see it listed in the items on the left. Please note: This mapping service is for general reference only. Mapping errors can occur. ALR

You may also consult the Agricultural Land Commission Mapping System. Note: If your property falls within the ALR, additional regulations may apply.
