5 Things you should know when buying a Lakefront Property in Invermere BC
1. Property Line
Before you purchase a Lakefront Property in Invermere BC, you must find your property line. Most importantly, many lakefront owners do not own the water rights. British Columbia Government owns the Foreshore. The Foreshore is the land between the high and low watermarks of streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. You need to have an Invermere realtor who knows this information. When viewing an Invermere Lakefront for sale, be sure to have your Realtor check the Land Title and water zoning map. They will tell you what rights you have for your Invermere Lakefront.
2. Water Zoning and Bylaws
Your Realtor can tell you the water zoning and bylaws. For example, are you allowed to build a dock or boathouse? Are you able to tear down the old boathouse and create a new boathouse? In some cases, you may only be able to upkeep an existing structure instead of building a new one.
3. Retaining Wall
Suppose you may want to build or rebuild a retaining wall that keeps your bank from eroding. You will need to submit a Notification to Land and Water BC Inc. for proposed lakeshore stabilization works. It is never an easy process to build a retaining wall in British Columbia waterfronts.
4. Well and Septic system
At this time, most of the lakefront property in Windermere is not on RDEK water and sewage. If you need to put in a new well or septic system, you need to contact the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Health to determine your property’s bylaw requirements.
5. Lakefront property Windermere BC Taxes
Invermere lakefront property for sale is costly. You should review the property taxes for the property you are looking at as well as neighbouring properties. Some of the Lakefront communities have additional community fees. DK can provide all this information.
