Find Your Parcel Identifier (PID)

What is a Parcel Identifier (PID)?

A PID is a nine-digit number that uniquely identifies a parcel in the land title register of British Columbia. The Registrar assigns PID numbers to parcels for which a title is being registered. The Land Title Act refers to the PID as the permanent parcel identifier.

You can find a property’s PID or legal description through:

  • ParcelMap BC using geographic location, PID, civic address or other identifier.
  • BC Assessment’s Assessment Search (civic address required)
  • A tax assessment notice from BC Assessment
  • Municipal tax notice
