Plan Prefix Codes

Most plans filed with the LTSA display a three-letter plan prefix code (such as BCP or VAS) in the legal description.

If your plan number already has a three-letter prefix, simply enter the plan number with its prefix. For example, you could enter BCP1234, LMS123, or EPP123.

If your plan number does not have a three-letter prefix, you will have to add one. Choose the appropriate prefix from the table below, add it to your plan number (without spaces), and enter it. All electronic plans in all land title districts begin with the prefix EPP for land title plans and EPS for strata plans. Crown grants begin with the prefix EPC.

Strata and Standard Plan Prefixes

Examples:

• In the Kamloops Land Title District, you would enter plan number 12345 as KAP12345
• In the Vancouver Land Title District, you would enter plan number 12345 as VAP12345
• In the Vancouver Land Title District, you would enter strata plan number VR123 as VAS123
• In the Victoria Land Title District, you would enter plan number 555RW as VIP555RW

The prefix rules above should work in most cases.

You can use Plan Search by Plan Number to find plans that contain the numeric portion of the specified plan number together with associated parcels. You do not need to enter a prefix or suffix for the plan number to use this search. You are also able to preview plans prior to purchase.
