FAQ

   Are there any lots available for purchase in Crossings right now?

Lethbridge Land keeps all its inventory current on the Lot Map. You can see which lots are available for purchase from Lethbridge Land directly and you can see which ones are availble through our Builder Group.

   How does Lethbridge Land sell its residential lots?

When a new phase of a subdivision is introduced, new lots are usually offered by way of a "lot draw".

   How do I know when the lot draw will be held?

We'll advertise it in the Lethbridge Herald, on our Crossings social media (Facebook and Instagram), and here on crossingslethbridge.ca.

Our websites are the most up-to-date source for upcoming lot draws and other exciting news. Come back often to stay well-informed of what's happening in any of our communities.

   What is a two-box system?

For our Crossings lot draws, we are utilizing a two-box system, one for individuals/businesses and one for BILD Lethbridge builder members.

   Can I register my name multiple times?

No, you can only make one registration per household and/or you may register a business if you are the owner of a registered business or if you are a BILD Lethbridge builder member. Only the two registrations will be retained for the draw and other names will be disqualified.

   Can I apply as an individual and as a company or contractor?

Yes, you can apply either as an individual or a contractor/business or a BILD Lethbridge builder member, but to a maximum of two ballots.

   Can anyone put their name in the lot draw?

Yes. Any individual, business, or BILD Lethbridge builder member can register for the lot draw, but only one entry can be made for each business or household.

   How does the lot draw process work for CHBA builder members?

BILD Lethbridge builder members may make one registration for their business for the BILD Lethbridge builder member box. If they wish, they may also enter one as an individual in the other individual/business box.

   How do I know it's Fair?

In a lot draw, all registered names are placed in their respective box and are publically selected at random. A coin toss will determine which box is drawn from first. To ensure fairness and transparency, we randomly select a participant at the draw to step forward, mix the ballots and draw the names.

   Who gets first pick at the lots?

The first name drawn chooses first.

   How do I know what lots are available in the draw?

Watch our website for information about upcoming lot draws. When lots are available, you will be able to see the map, price list, lot grades, Design + Development Guidelines and other pertinent information.

   Do I have to be present at the lot draw?

Yes, you do. If you are not present at the lot draw and your name is called, another name will be drawn in your place and you will have lost your opportunity to purchase a lot through us. You can still purchase from a builder, provided there are still lots available via that route. Please remember to bring valid government issued photo ID as you will be asked for it if your name is drawn.

   If I'm a contractor and my name is drawn, do I have to provide you with any information about my business?

Yes, you will need to provide a photocopy of your up-to-date City of Lethbridge business license.

   How do I apply for the lot draw?

Bring in your completed registration form along with proof of identification to register for the draw. This must be done no later than TWO DAYS before the draw, for example if the lot draw is on a Wednesday, the deadline to register is Monday at 12 noon.

   How do I choose my lot if I'm successful in the lot draw?

If your name is drawn, you will:

• choose your lot right then and there

• fill out a cheque for 10%

• provide us with your contact information

One week later, you will need to come in to sign the offer to purchase.

To expedite the process, we suggest that you come prepared with your lots ordered from most to least desirable.
