Order a Document or Plan

Before You Order

• A document refers to any of the land title forms or supporting material which are submitted as part of an application to register an interest in land within BC. Examples of documents include: title transfers, mortgages, easements, etc.
• A plan is a graphical representation of a survey conducted by a BC land surveyor which shows the spatial extent, area, corner monuments and generally the geographic location of a specific area of land.
• If you’re looking for your home’s floor plans or blueprints, please contact your municipality or builder. This is not information the LTSA maintains.
• For information about renovating or building, you may wish to visit the building and renovating webpage on gov.bc.ca

To order a document or plan, you will need the identifying number for that record.

You can typically find the document or plan number listed on title or State of Title Certificate. For a plan number, it may be a part of the parcel’s legal description. In the below example, the plan number is 12345:

• Lot 1, District Lot 555, New Westminster District, Plan 12345

Requests for older records that are stored on microfilm and in paper cannot be ordered via mail. Those records must be fulfilled by a registry agent. You may also make the request in person to the land title office serving the land title district in which the property is located. Extra fees will be incurred for the record to be located and scanned by LTSA employees.
