Can I buy in Banff?

The short answer is yes, anybody can buy in Banff. However, there is a need to reside that people need to be aware of when it comes to owning property in the National Park.

 When you buy a property in Banff, you aren't purchasing or owning the land beneath it. The land remains under the ownership of Parks Canada, which grants buyers a ‘leasehold’ interest in the property. This type of interest provides all the rights of freehold ownership, except for the land itself. In Banff, lease terms last 42 years and run with the title and are renewed at the end of this period. Renewals are typically straightforward, relatively low cost and can by done by any lawyer familiar with Parks legislation.

The following information is taken from the parks Canada Website, please visit the below links for further information:
