Title Search Results
If a parcel identifier matches your search, the Title Search Results page will appear displaying the total number of search results found and the land title district that was searched.
Above the search results table, the PID, the short legal description, and any pending applications by number and nature of interest are also displayed. You can rollover the short legal description to view the full legal description.
A Pending number is assigned when a document is electronically filed or presented to a land title office. The Pending number is then attached to the parcel identifier for the property. As the name suggests, the nature of the document has not taken effect, but it is pending. When LTSA staff have examined and approved the document, the details will be entered in the land title register. The letter "D" adjacent to the pending number indicates that the document has been defected.
