E-filing

Professional, business and government customers are authorized with the required certification to electronically file applications to the LTSA.

Statutory officers or BC commissioners may electronically submit land title documents by becoming a member of the LTSA’s Authorized Subscriber Register.

After initial set-up has been completed, e-filing is a three-step process:

1. Complete an electronic land title, Surveyor General, or Property Transfer Tax form using Adobe Acrobat Standard and Professional
2. Sign the electronic form(s) using your Juricert electronic signature
3. Submit the electronic form(s) via myLTSA Enterprise
