Current Title

A land title search may also be ordered though One Stop Licence Shop by faxing or e-mailing a completed Land Title search Request form.

The accuracy of every title is guaranteed by the government under the Torrens System of land registration. Since land title records are public information, anyone can request a land title search on any piece of land in Alberta . Titles identify the current owner and show all outstanding registered interests in the land, such as mortgages, caveats, easements and builders' liens. This is important information that you are entitled to.

To obtain a current land title search you must provide on of the following:

• The legal description
• Land Identification Number Code (LINC number)
• The title number for the property you want to search

If you do not have this information, One Stop Licence Shop can perform a GeoLINC search to obtain the legal land description from the street address. GeoLINC searches are available for most urban areas (excluding some condominiums and the City of Calgary ).

A piece of land can have multiple land titles. You are charged a fee for each title that you receive. However, if you know which title holder(s) you are interested in, you can request and pay for a land title search for only the title holder(s) you choose.
