Farm trucks
Can I put farm plates on my vehicle?
Farm truck licence plates can be displayed on commercial vehicles (for example, pick-up 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.
