What to check
- Strata or homeowner-association rules for your pocket: fees, design controls, rentals and use of the shared beach and moorage.
- Your right to moorage. Is the dock or buoy tied to the property, a shared community facility, or a separate permission? Buoys are regulated by Transport Canada, not the Province.
- Hillside construction. Steep lots can bring hillside development permits, engineered retaining walls and drainage questions.
- Additional school tax. Homes assessed over $3 million pay the provincial additional school tax on the portion above $3 million. See the taxes guide.
