West Kelowna, British Columbia
West Kelowna is a $15.7 billion roll made almost entirely of houses, and the two largest footprints inside its boundary are not freehold at all: 5,668 hectares of Crown land under a Westbank First Nation community forest licence, and 2,134 hectares of provincial Crown parcels. The City itself holds $111.2 million of land at cost, 22 of its 22 winery licences are held by 17 companies with Terrabella Wineries holding five and Mark Anthony Group two, and the two biggest shopping centres serving the town sit on reserve land outside the municipality entirely.

Can you find out who owns it?
British Columbia's land title register is open to anyone but priced per search: $11.06 for a search under section 377 of the Land Title Act on the LTSA fee listing current at 1 April 2026, with no bulk owner product and no price-paid file. The free half of the picture is the Land Owner Transparency Registry, which since 30 November 2020 has required corporations, trusts and partnerships registering an interest in BC land to name the individuals behind them, and a search of the publicly accessible part is priced NIL. West Kelowna also appears on LTSA's Tax Certificates Online table at $110.26 a certificate — still listed under its pre-2015 name, "West Kelowna, District" — which is the practical cost of finding the taxpayer of record on a given parcel. One caution specific to this city: the two Westbank First Nation reserves on its edge, Tsinstikeptum 9 and 10, are not in the municipality and not in the provincial land title system; they are federal land with their own register, and the ca-westbank record deals with them.
Is ownership public?Public, but one paid search at a time
Cost of one title search$11.06 — "For a search under section 377 or a copy of the search results, or both", listed as "Title Search" on the LTSA Customer Fee Listing as at 1 April 2026. A search of publicly accessible information under section 35 of the Land Owner Transparency Act is priced NIL on the same schedule. A municipal tax certificate through LTSA's Tax Certificates Online is $110.26 for "West Kelowna, District".

The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant West Kelowna (Rose Valley water system) 5,245 sq m main plant, three storeys |
Civic | City of West Kelowna The City's own page calls the plant "the single largest construction project the City of West Kelowna has ever undertaken", completed in December 2023, three storeys and 5,245 square metres excluding the holding reservoir, with a treatment capacity of 70 million litres a day expandable to 115 million. It serves an estimated 19,700 people as at February 2026, drawing on a 244 square kilometre watershed and over 6,000 ML of raw storage across the Esperon, Big Horn and Rose Valley reservoirs. The City names Maple Reinders as general contractor for plant and reservoir and Bluepoint Construction Ltd. for the transmission mains — contractors, not owners. |
Government | CAD $75M 2023-12 Construction cost as the City states it, not a purchase price: $41M federal and provincial grant, $6.1M development cost charges, $4.4M Rose Valley water reserves, $23.5M ratepayers. A |
| Mission Hill Family Estate Winery 1730 Mission Hill Road, West Kelowna |
Industrial | Mark Anthony Group Inc. The province's list of active liquor licences records two Manufacturer licences at 1730 Mission Hill Road — winery licence 300228 and distillery licence 300127 — both with the licensee recorded as "Mark Anthony Group Inc." and the local-government jurisdiction as West Kelowna. Mark Anthony Group Inc. holds ten Manufacturer licences across the Okanagan: four in Kelowna, these two in West Kelowna, one at Okanagan Falls and three at Oliver. The licence establishes the company that holds the manufacturing licence at the address. It is not a title search: who owns the vineyard land is a separate question, answered only by an $11.06 LTSA search. |

| Quails' Gate Estate Winery 3303 Boucherie Road, West Kelowna |
Industrial | Quails' Gate Vineyards Estate Winery Ltd. Manufacturer / Winery licence 188464 at 3303 Boucherie Rd, licensee "Quails' Gate Vineyards Estate Winery Ltd.", jurisdiction West Kelowna — one of the oldest licence numbers on the Boucherie bench. A single-licence local company. The licence names the licensee, not the registered owner of the land. |

| Mount Boucherie Community Complex (Royal LePage Place) 2760 Cameron Road, West Kelowna |
Civic | City of West Kelowna The province's active-licence list records Liquor Primary licence 305540 at 2760 Cameron Road with the licensee recorded as "City of West Kelowna" — the municipality holds the licence for its own arena and community complex. Westbank First Nation's taxation page separately lists "Mount Boucherie Recreation Centre" and the "Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre" among the City of West Kelowna services its own taxpayers pay for under a service agreement, which places the facility in the City's hands rather than the Nation's. The City's audited statements carry $71.4 million of buildings at cost but do not itemise by facility. |

| The Hatch / Terrabella winery cluster on Boucherie Road 3189 Boucherie Road, West Kelowna (and four other addresses) |
Industrial | Terrabella Wineries Ltd. Terrabella Wineries Ltd. is the licensee of five of West Kelowna's 22 Manufacturer licences: The Hatch at 3189 Boucherie Road (306225), Black Swift Vineyards at 2345 Boucherie Road (308531), Truck 59 Ciderhouse at 3887 Brown Road (307660), Crown and Thieves at 3930 Harding Road (308909) and The Hatching Post brewery at 2850 Boucherie Road (310561). That is the single largest concentration of winery licences in any Okanagan community outside Oliver, and it is the opposite of the Naramata and Summerland pattern, where no company holds more than two. The register names the licensee, never the owner of the land. |

| West Kelowna RCMP Detachment 2390 Dobbin Road, West Kelowna 1,636 sq m |
Institutional | Not established a paid title search would answer it The federal Directory of Federal Real Property records the West Kelowna Detachment Site at 2390 Dobbin Rd, custodian Royal Canadian Mounted Police, one building of 1,636 square metres — and the interest type is "Lease or Licence", not "Crown Owned". Canada occupies the building and does not own it, so the landlord is behind the provincial register and costs $11.06 to find. The same register shows Canada leasing rather than owning three of the five federal footprints in this city: the detachment, a Public Services and Procurement Canada site at 2711 Auburn Road (225 sq m) and 0.316 ha of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada "Research Land". |

| Greater Westside Board of Trade building 2372 Dobbin Road, West Kelowna |
Office | City of West Kelowna The City's Property Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 0335, 2025 names the registered owner of Lot 1, Plan KAP81960 (PID 026-813-912, folio 15509.000), civic address 2372 Dobbin Road, as "City of West Kelowna (Greater Westside of Board of Trade)", and exempts 90% of its value from taxation for 2026 under section 224(2)(a) of the Community Charter. A municipal bylaw naming the registered owner against a PID is the cheapest owner record this city publishes, and the only one: the bylaw covers 22 properties and nothing else. |

| Largest privately classed parcel in the city — PID 002-778-394 No civic address published; 102.3 ha inside the City of West Kelowna |
Land | Not established a paid title search would answer it ParcelMap BC classifies this parcel OWNER_TYPE "Private", PARCEL_CLASS "Subdivision", no plan number, and gives its area as 1,023,000 square metres — 102.3 hectares, the largest privately classed parcel the layer returns inside the 15,886-hectare municipal boundary. One parcel is larger and it is not private: a 132.0 ha parcel, PID 011-515-163, classed "Crown Provincial". The layer gives an owner class and never a name; the name costs $11.06, and a free LOTR search would name the individuals behind a corporation, trust or partnership but requires an account. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
West Kelowna's roll is $15.7 billion and 91% of it is houses. What makes the place unusual is the ground behind the houses: a 120-metre grid of the province's own ownership layer puts 35.6% of the municipal boundary inside a community forest agreement held by Westbank First Nation over Crown land, against 30.0% private parcels. Note that the legal boundary includes about 3,200 hectares of Okanagan Lake, and that the layer's "Forest Management Unit" class is a residual — land with no other classification — so neither share should be read as a property holding. The hard numbers are the roll, the City's $111.2 million of land at cost, and the 201 parcels of five hectares or more that ParcelMap BC places inside the boundary.
Total assessed value, 2026 roll$15.73B
$15,732,808,717 for general municipal purposes on the 2026 roll: residential $14,360,972,545, business and other $1,017,469,800, light industry $278,655,800, major industry $45,646,000, recreation and non-profit $18,642,100, utilities $7,253,701, farm $4,168,771, managed forest and supportive housing nil.

Land in the Agricultural Land Reserveabout 1,131 ha (7.1%)
Our own 50-metre grid measurement of the Agricultural Land Commission's ALR polygon layer inside the province's legal City of West Kelowna boundary: 4,525 of 63,490 sample points inside the boundary fall in the ALR — 1,131 ha of the 15,873 ha the same grid measures, against a legal feature area of 15,886 ha. Polygon by polygon the measurement attributes 34 ALR blocks to the city, the largest 267.8 ha, then 106.8 ha, 105.0 ha and 99.8 ha.
What the province's ownership layer calls the municipality35.6% community forest licence, 30.0% private
Our 120-metre grid sample of the Generalized Forest Cover Ownership layer inside the legal boundary (11,045 points, 15,905 ha): 35.6% "Community Forest Agreement, Schedule B" (5,668 ha), 30.0% "Private Parcel" (4,764 ha), 26.6% "Forest Management Unit" across the layer's two spellings (4,232 ha), 4.1% local or regional park (660 ha), 1.0% municipal parcels (158 ha), 0.9% community watershed, 0.6% UREP reserve, 0.3% miscellaneous lease, 0.1% First Nation reserve (13 ha), 0.1% forest recreation, and 5.8 ha of Tree Farm Licence Schedule B. Schedule B is Crown land inside a licence area, not the licensee's own land. The boundary includes about 3,200 ha of lake.
The largest parcels, by owner class201 parcels over 5 ha; 46% private
ParcelMap BC returns 201 parcels of five hectares or more attributed to "West Kelowna, City of", excluding the Interest, Building Strata and Air Space classes, covering 4,567 ha — 29% of the municipality. By the layer's own OWNER_TYPE: 128 parcels and 2,112.7 ha "Private", 25 parcels and 1,239.8 ha "Untitled Provincial", 21 parcels and 894.6 ha "Crown Provincial", 23 parcels and 281.2 ha "Local Government", 4 parcels and 39.0 ha unclassified. The largest single parcel is Crown provincial at 132.0 ha.

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Concentration in West Kelowna runs through four channels and only one of them is a private company. The province holds 2,134 hectares across 46 large parcels. Westbank First Nation holds a community forest licence over 5,668 hectares of Crown land inside the municipal boundary — a licence to harvest Crown timber, not freehold — and separately owns at least one fee-simple parcel inside the city. The City holds $111.2 million of land at cost. And the only owner-by-name record the city publishes is a tax exemption bylaw covering 22 properties, almost all of them churches and charities.

| Province of British Columbia (provincial Crown) ParcelMap BC returns 25 parcels of five hectares or more classed OWNER_TYPE "Untitled Provincial" totalling 1,239.8 ha and 21 classed "Crown Provincial" totalling 894.6 ha inside the City of West Kelowna. The single largest parcel in the municipality is among them: 132.0 ha, PID 011-515-163, "Crown Provincial". Four of the next largest are 70.2, 68.3, 66.5 and 66.1 ha "Untitled Provincial" parcels on reserve survey plan 4TR2_ODYD. The layer gives the class and never the ministry or agency that holds it. |
Government | 2,134 ha across 46 large parcels, including the largest in the cityA |
| Westbank First Nation Two separate and different things, and the distinction is the whole point. First, the province's forest tenure layer returns exactly one managed-licence feature over this municipality: Community Forest Agreement K1P, client "WESTBANK FIRST NATION", type SCHEDULE_B, 43,103.7 ha in total and active — of which our grid places 5,668 ha inside the City of West Kelowna boundary. Schedule B is Crown land inside a licence area; a community forest agreement is a right to harvest Crown timber and is not ownership of the land. Second, the City's own Property Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 0335, 2025 names "Westbank First Nations" as the owner of Lot B, Plan KAP85543, District Lot 485 (PID 027-333-680) on Casa Palmero Drive, exempt under section 224(2)(d)(i) as land owned by a public or local authority — ordinary fee simple, in the provincial register, inside the municipality. |

The bylaw is the only document in West Kelowna that pairs a registered owner with a PID. |

Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Churches (1190 Stevens Road), Lakeview Heights Baptist Church (2630 Alhambra Drive), the Christian and Missionary Alliance-Can (2011 Daimler Road), Green Bay Bible Camp (1449 Green Bay Road, two folios), Morning Star Bible Camp (3031 McIver Road), Pathways Abilities Society (2476 Main Street) and the Hungarian-Canadian Cultural Society (1670 Ross Rd).

Where property meets office
Recorded only where a public record states it — a disclosure registry, council minutes, a land-use decision. Stated as fact, with nothing inferred from it.
| Holder | Office | Holding |

Property Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 0335, 2025 names the owner of Lot 1, Plan KAP81960 (PID 026-813-912) as "City of West Kelowna (Greater Westside of Board of Trade)" and exempts 90% of its value under section 224(2)(a) of the Community Charter. Nothing is inferred from this; it is a neutral statement of what the bylaw says. A |
| 0778967 BC Ltd | Not an office-holder. Recorded because the exempting authority is the elected Council and the beneficiary is a numbered private company's tenant. | Registered owner of 3710 Hoskins Road (PID 027-123-502), leased by the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank Society and 22% exempt from 2026 municipal taxation The City's Property Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 0335, 2025 names the registered owner as "0778967 BC Ltd (leased by Central Okanagan Community Food Bank Society)" and exempts 22% of value. A free Land Owner Transparency Registry search would name the individuals behind the numbered company, but a LOTR search requires an account and none was made; no person is named here. A |

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
West Kelowna publishes something most small BC cities do not: a parcel-by-parcel building permit list naming the contractor. Our own tally of its 2025 detailed building permit statistics finds 50 permits with the work class "01-New construction" on residential building types, carrying $51.8 million of stated construction value, plus ten non-residential new-construction permits. The striking number is that 19 of the 50 name no contractor at all — the field reads "Private", meaning an owner-builder — so there is no dominant homebuilder here. No named firm took more than four permits in the year. Two caveats: the contractor column sometimes carries a designer rather than a builder (Lime Architecture Inc, Nejmark Architect), and Statistics Canada's publication of CMHC starts has no West Kelowna geography — the Kelowna census agglomeration absorbs it.
| Name | Type | New-construction permits, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| City of West Kelowna (the permit record, not a builder) Our own count from the City's published 2025 detailed building permit statistics: 50 permits with work class "01-New construction" against residential building types (single family dwelling, single family with suite, duplex, duplex with suite, townhouse/row house, carriage house, modular home), with $51,776,652 of stated construction value, and ten further new-construction permits on commercial, industrial and institutional types worth $27.6 million including two single permits of $8.0 million and $7.0 million. The permit list is the City's; the tally is ours. |
Government | 50 residential new-construction permits, $51.8MA |
| Palermo Homes The most frequent named contractor on West Kelowna's 2025 new-construction permits, on four single-family and duplex permits including 1319 Vineyard Dr. The City's caveat applies: the field records the contractor on the permit, which is not a statement of who owns the land or the finished house. |
Private company | 4 new-construction permitsA |
| Dilworth Homes Three 2025 new-construction permits, all duplex pairs in the Sunstone Street subdivision — 4043/4047, 4059/4063 and 4067/4071 Sunstone St — at stated construction values of $1.41M, $1.41M and $1.33M. A Kelowna-registered contractor; the permit gives its mailing address, not where it owns land. |
Private company | 3 new-construction permitsA |
| Operon Homes Inc Two 2025 single-family new-construction permits, including 2527 Pinnacle Ridge Dr. Named here because the register shows no builder above four permits in the year: this is a market of small firms and owner-builders, not of a platform. |
Private company | 2 new-construction permitsA |
| Tallus Developments Ltd. Two new-construction permits issued 13 November 2025 for townhouse/row house units 1–4 and 5–8 at 2509 Paramount Peak Drive — the only multi-unit townhouse starts in the City's 2025 new-construction list.

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
West Kelowna's business-and-other assessment class is worth $1.02 billion and its light industry class $278.7 million, and the honest finding about its commercial property is geographic: the two largest shopping centres that serve the town are not in it. Okanagan Lake Landing (127,000 sq ft) and Snyatan (94,000 sq ft) both sit on Tsinstikeptum Indian Reserve No. 9 and No. 10, outside the municipal boundary and outside the provincial land title system, and both are held by Westbank First Nation's development company — that is the ca-westbank record. Inside the city, the largest documented commercial interests are wine companies: 22 Manufacturer licences held by 17 companies, with Terrabella Wineries holding five and Mark Anthony Group two.
| Name | Type | Holdings |
|---|---|---|
| Terrabella Wineries Ltd. Licensee of The Hatch (3189 Boucherie Road), Black Swift Vineyards (2345 Boucherie Road), Truck 59 Ciderhouse (3887 Brown Road), Crown and Thieves (3930 Harding Road) and The Hatching Post brewery (2850 Boucherie Road). Across the whole Okanagan the province's register shows most winery licensees holding exactly one licence; five in one municipality is the exception and worth naming as such. |
Private company | 5 of the city's 22 manufacturer licencesA |
| Mark Anthony Group Inc. Licensee of Mission Hill Winery (300228) and Mission Hill Vineyards distillery (300127), both at 1730 Mission Hill Road. The same company is the licensee at Cedar Creek, St. Hubertus, Sperling Vineyards and Martin's Lane in Kelowna, Liquidity Wines at Okanagan Falls, and Checkmate, Road 13 and The Red Barn at Jagged Rock at Oliver — ten Okanagan Manufacturer licences, the largest single winery interest in the valley. It is a privately held BC company filing no public accounts, so no acreage is auditable. |

Government | $111.2M of land at cost; 23 large parcels, 281.2 haA |
| Otter Farm & Home Co-Operative The province's register names the co-operative as the licensee of Angry Otter Liquor Store at 102–3000 Louie Drive and at 100–3645 Gosset Road, the only operator of more than one liquor retail store in the municipality. A co-operative association rather than a company, which is unusual in this trade and the reason it is listed here. |
Institution | 2 licensee retail storesA |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The registered owner of every commercial building in West Kelowna. No source publishes building-level ownership here. The City's exemption bylaw names 22 owners and stops; establishing the rest means buying $11.06 title searches parcel by parcel.
- The City of West Kelowna's 2025 annual report narrative, including its own building-permit and housing-unit totals and any top-taxpayer table. The City publishes 2022–2025 annual reports only through Issuu, which renders by JavaScript and could not be read. The audited consolidated financial statements for 2024 and 2025 were opened as direct PDFs and are the source for the land and asset figures here.
- Whether the 50 residential new-construction permits counted here correspond to 50 completed dwellings. The City's list is permits issued, not units completed, and it does not state a unit count; some permits are duplex pairs and two cover four townhouse units each.
- A housing starts series for West Kelowna. Statistics Canada's publication of CMHC starts by census agglomeration has no West Kelowna geography — the Kelowna census agglomeration contains it — so the City's own permit list is the only count.
- The registered owner of the largest private parcel in the city, PID 002-778-394 (102.3 ha), and whether a corporation, trust or partnership holds it. A LOTR search is free but needs an account.
- Which provincial ministry or agency holds the 46 large Crown parcels, including the 132.0 ha parcel that is the largest in the municipality. ParcelMap BC gives the owner class and never the holder.
- The highest assessed single parcel in West Kelowna, in dollars. BC Assessment holds it and its licence forbids commercial use of its data outright.
- The landlord of the West Kelowna RCMP detachment at 2390 Dobbin Road and of the Public Services and Procurement Canada site at 2711 Auburn Road. The federal register proves Canada leases rather than owns both; it never names the lessor.
- The area of Westbank First Nation's K1P community forest that lies outside the municipality. The licence polygon is 43,103.7 ha in total and our grid resolves only the 5,668 ha inside the city boundary; the remainder spreads over the Central Okanagan and was not measured.
- Permissive tax exemption dollar values. Unlike Penticton and Merritt, West Kelowna's bylaw states percentages exempted and not the municipal tax forgone, so no dollar figure for any named holder could be published.
