Ownership

Ownership Program

The Banff Housing Corporation (BHC) manages an inventory of diverse home ownership properties that are bought and sold to eligible Banff residents on the Registered Resale List (RRL). The ownership program allows Banff residents to live in long-term, secure housing.  The portfolio includes 216 ownership properties encompassing 1-bedroom apartments to single family homes.

  • 32 Single Family Home
  • 63 Townhome
  • 78 Duplex
  • 43 Apartment

All residents who purchase a BHC home must agree to and follow the terms outlined in their Sublease Agreement. This agreement includes key conditions such as occupying the home as their primary residence, meeting Banff National Park residency eligibility requirements, following the resale process, carrying appropriate insurance, and complying with strict regulations regarding the rental of the home. These properties also have restrictions on the maximum resale amounts to maintain perpetually below market valuations for future buyers. These requirements ensure BHC housing serves its intended purpose — providing resident-occupied homes that support the Banff community.

Before you apply, review the eligibility information above to ensure you are eligible for the program.

Applicants acknowledge that eligibility requirements may change over time.

These sacred lands are a gathering place for the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy, of whom the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations are part; the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; the Métis Nation of Alberta, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to enrich our vibrant community.

We are grateful to those whose territory we reside on and acknowledge the many First Nations and Métis who have lived and cared for these lands for generations.
