Farm trucks

Can I put farm plates on my vehicle?

Farm truck licence plates can be displayed on commercial vehicles (for example, pickup and flat-bed trucks) used by a farmer in connection with his or her farm, ranch, or market garden.

(A "farmer" is defined as a person or a company engaged in the business of farming on land classified as farm land for tax purposes.)

What can a farm vehicle be used for?

Besides farming, a vehicle with a farm truck plate may (if properly insured) also be used for

• pleasure, and
• driving to or from work or school.

It cannot, however, be used for any business that does not relate to a farm.

How do I apply for (or renew) farm plates?

To apply for or renew any farm truck plates, bring one of the following to your Autoplan broker:

• a BC Farmer Identity Card issued by the BC Agriculture Council
• the most recent Property Assessment Notice for the farmland

If the farmland is leased, bring the following two documents: (1) a copy of your lease agreement, and (2) the most current Property Assessment Notice for the leased land.
