LTSA Director of Land Titles Issues Updated ‘Electronic Land Title Plan and Plan Application Requirements’ Document

The ‘Electronic Land Title Plan and Plan Application Requirements’ document, issued by the Director of Land Titles, has been updated today, July 15 to coincide with the effective date of the recent Survey and Plan Rule changes. The following sections have been updated:

  • Section 4.1(k) – to reflect Survey and Plan Rule change 2020-01 relating to SPR 3-13 with respect to requirements for posting plans that depict natural boundaries.
  • Section 4.1(n) – to make it evident that a plan dedicating road or park in the ALC requires the ALR plan statement and related ALC approval.
  • Section 4.2(h) – where an easement is submitted concurrently with the plan the land surveyor may enter the following text in the Registered Charge Number field on the Survey Plan Certification form: “Easement submitted concurrently with this plan, executed year/month/day.”

A plan that subdivides land within the ALR, as determined by the meaning in section 19 of the Agricultural Land Commission Act, requires ALC approval prior to deposit of the plan in the Land Title Office. For additional clarification:

  • A Reference Plan pursuant to s.107(1)(a) that dedicates road or park is considered a subdivision.
  • A ‘Return to Crown’ of eroded lands is not considered a subdivision.

The updated Electronic Land Title Plan and Plan Application Requirements document can be found on the LTSA website.
