Land Title and Survey Authority
- Land Title and Survey Authority
The Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia (LTSA) is an independent corporation without share capital. The LTSA is established under the Land Title and Survey Authority Act and operates the land title registration and the survey systems of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The LTSA provides for the registration of all real propertyownership and all private and Crown land surveys through two divisions:
* Land Title Division – ensures the continued integrity of BC’s Torrens system for registering land titles. The LTSA's Land Title Offices verify ownership every time a property is sold, mortgaged, or other interests are created.
* Surveyor General Division – maintains the quality of the land survey structure of the Province and issuing Crown Grant documents that transfer Crown land into private ownership
The LTSA's Electronic Filing System (EFS) launched in 2004 enables authorized users (lawyers, notaries public and surveyors) to electronically submit land title documents and survey plans for registration. The secure nature of EFS is derived in large part by "digital signatures", also known as "digital certificates", through a service offered by Juricert, a collaboration between the Law Society of British Columbia and other law societies. Although EFS is currently voluntary, there is active discussion around making it mandatory.
EFS is available via BC OnLine, the BC Government's portal to e-government and other supporting services. BC OnLine also offers registered users the ability to perform title searches and obtain copies of documents, & recent survey plans.
