Rules & regulations at Sunrise Village

A strict minimum age of 45, with no exceptions — this applies to any additional occupant too, including a spouse, partner, or family member added later. Every resident meets with management to review and sign the Rules & Regulations before moving in.

Every offer is written subject to the buyer securing park approval before the subject is removed — an appointment with management to review and sign the Rules & Regulations. There's no Form B or strata documentation involved, and the rules are strictly enforced with no exceptions.

One house pet is permitted, subject to management's approval. Cats must stay indoors or on a leash outside, dogs must be leashed at all times off your own property, and aggressive or nuisance behaviour can result in a pet losing its approval to stay. Guide and service dogs are permitted under BC's Guide Dog and Service Dog Act.

Subletting a home requires specific approval from management before it happens — this isn't optional. If renting out your unit is part of your plan, now or down the road, this is one of the first things we check for the specific home you're considering.

Any exterior addition or alteration — carports, sheds, gazebos, even new landscaping — requires a Renovation Request form submitted and approved by management before work begins. We've seen this firsthand at Sunrise Village: some C Plan owners have enclosed their carport into a garage, which shows these changes are possible, but they go through an approval process rather than being done unilaterally.

Rooftop solar is allowed with written approval from management and a licensed installer — a genuinely useful option for buyers thinking about long-term energy costs. Ground-mounted systems are not permitted, and the system typically needs to be removed when the home is sold unless the new owner takes it over with approval.

Street parking generally isn't permitted — most homes come with driveway and/or garage parking, and the community has a separate RV storage compound, for an additional monthly fee, for larger vehicles, boats, and trucks. Guest and RV parking both have specific time limits and approval requirements, which we'll walk you through for your specific situation.

A mix of manufactured, modular, and stick-built homes across its phases — Phase 1 homes are manufactured (identifiable by a CSA sticker), while the other phases mix modular and stick-built construction. The City of Kelowna has inspected homes in all phases except Phase 1. We confirm construction type for any specific home you're considering, since it can affect financing and insurance.

Every home is required to have a working fire extinguisher and smoke alarm. Quiet hours run 10pm–7am Monday through Saturday and all day Sunday, and outdoor wood-burning fire units (fire pits, chimineas, wood-burning BBQs) aren't permitted under the City of Kelowna's fire bylaw.

Owners can sell privately or list through a realtor — our listings at Sunrise Village get full marketing including yard signage, MLS®, and online exposure. When a sale closes, a lease assignment is signed with Sunrise Village's operator and a transfer fee applies, payable by the seller.

Separate from the community's Rules & Regulations, each home's land lease has its own terms and remaining length. See our full land lease explainer for how that works and why it matters for resale.
