What is Property Online? Is this service for me?

Any person or enterprise that regularly uses land ownership and related property information will find Property Online beneficial. This includes organizations such as surveying and engineering firms, real estate companies, financial institutions, law firms, consulting firms, resource-based industries, municipalities, and provincial and federal government agencies. The information in Property Online, which can be accessed from any computer with internet, can be searched by Parcel Identification Number (PID), owner name, assessment account number, civic address, and geographic location (e.g. town, county). The service can also be used to create and print customized maps. Property Online also contains other property information such as the complete Grantor Grantee Index for the province, and provides links to outstanding municipal tax balances for participating municipalities.
