Key achievements delivered to support this objective include:

First Nation Land Governance Registry

LTSA has been supporting the First Nations Lands Advisory Board and Resource Centre (LAB) to develop a new independent national land registry that will be operated and governed by First Nations. This will provide reliable and trustworthy land-related systems and information to support First Nations who have land codes and wish to use these services to self-manage the governance, management, protection, and development of First Nation lands. An independent First Nation governed land registry system will support improved land management and governance for Framework Agreement First Nations and further recognize First Nation land governance and governmental institutions.

During the year, LTSA and LAB further developed the registry technology and collaborated on administrative requirements for the registry operations, including the incorporation of First Nation Land Governance Registry Inc., the registry’s operating entity. The new land governance registry will replace the First Nation Land Register operated by Indigenous Services Canada with a modern, reliable First Nation governed and operated land registry system. The registry will benefit Nations who are operating under the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management and will empower Nations to better advance economic and social development through the establishment of a comprehensive interest based registry, improved registration, search and information products based on user needs.

LTSA is also working in an advisory capacity for First Nation Land Governance Registry Inc., sharing expertise in registry technology, experience in operating registries and helping to develop a supportive regulatory framework under the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management Act.

Land and Property Data Services

LTSA solves specific needs for key stakeholder groups, with a focus on improving transparency and efficiency in the real property market. LTSA currently provides a variety of data services for government partners (including municipal, provincial, other agencies) such as:

  • aggregated land title updates;
  • customized data queries; and
  • automated decision-making.

LTSA provides real estate professionals with AutoProp, a map-based service that helps them retrieve, export, and visualize real estate data in British Columbia. Consumers benefit from having access to comprehensive property information, helping them make informed real estate decisions.

ParcelMap BC

ParcelMap BC is the current, complete and trusted mapped representation of titled and Crown land parcels across the province, and is considered to be the point of truth for the graphical representation of property boundaries. As at March 31, 2026 it has been adopted by 157 organizations, including municipal governments, utilities and provincial agencies. ParcelMap BC data is continually updated by LTSA. New plans and other parcel fabric updates enter the maintenance queue upon registration or confirmation, with a publication service target of approximately two business days.

Verified Transaction

LTSA is spearheading the digital transformation of real estate transactions, working to ensure seamless, secure real property transactions while enhancing trust, transparency, and security for the public. The work being done for Verified Transaction will help mitigate risks associated with identify theft and fraud in the land title system to make the real property market stronger.

The Verified Transaction is centered on achieving three outcomes: modernizing identity verifications for all individuals involved in a property transaction; improving digital connectivity for the transaction; and developing industry standards for data exchange formats to enable digital connectivity. LTSA is engaging with the Province and industry
stakeholders to assess readiness and identify best practices to inform the development of data standards for the real property sector.

The adoption of standardized data exchange formats, definitions, and quality control mechanisms will support the delivery of an efficient and transparent real property market. Recognizing that industry collaboration is paramount to success, LTSA has established the Verified Transaction Advisory Committee with representatives from the following organizations:

  • BC Assessment
  • BC Financial Services Association
  • BC Real Estate Association
  • City of Vancouver
  • Greater Vancouver Realtors
  • Law Society of BC
  • Ministry of Citizen Services
  • Ministry of Finance
  • Society of Notaries Public of BC

This year, LTSA developed and piloted two new services related to Verified Transaction. The first is a digital credential for lawyers that can be used to digitally sign land title applications. This service has been developed in partnership with Connected Services BC, an initiative within BC’s Ministry of Citizen Services, and the Law Society of British Columbia. The second is BC Property Connect, a new service that provides property owners with a secure digital connection to information about their property, including property alerts for any changes to title.
