Important Notice for Carr's Landing Homeowners re: the new Short-Term Rental Accommodation Act and extension of the Speculation & Vacancy Tax Act to the District of Lake Country.
The BC Government has made two recent decisions that impact homeowners in our area. The Speculation & Vacancy Tax was expanded to include our area and others in the Okanagan, effective January 1, 2024. The Short-Term Rental Accommodation Act comes into force on May 1, 2024 and applies to all short term rentals in the province. Both pieces of legislation are in addition to any similar regulations in place locally or nationally. For the Spec Tax, all District of Lake Country homeowners will complete a declaration, early in 2025, about the use of their homes in 2024, which will determine if an additional tax (of 0.5 or 2% of the assessed value of the home) will be applied to the property tax due July 2025. Declaration of STR use of a property and more Spec Tax information is available at:

Stan Brynjofson
CLCRA is sad to share the news that long time volunteer and Board member, Stan Brynjolfson, passed away on October 4th. Stan and his wife, Edith, lived in Vancouver, Delta and Langley over their working years, during which Stan was an Analytical Chemist. Upon retirement, they moved to their home on Commonage in fall 2000 and both quickly became involved with the Community & Recreation Association. Stan was involved with the development of the Carr’s Landing Neighbourhood Plan as well as with the local Environmental Association. A long time Board member of CLCRA, Stan's last term officially ended at the Annual General Meeting the day after her died. Stan was actively involved in the barbeques that used to be held at Coral Beach Park and worked on initiatives like the Coral Beach float and tennis court surfacing. When not volunteering, Stan enjoyed making beer and wine, visits from his grandchildren and working on his classic 1951 Chevy. One of Stan’s last outings was to a mini show and shine on Schaad Road, with his two sons. A memorial for Stan was held Saturday, November 5th, in Langley.
