    Historical land title searching at the Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA)
    (Colonial Injustices and Current Realities: UVic, 2025-04) Mix, Kate; Bowick, Emma
    What is the LTSA? The Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA) is a corporation that administers the land title and survey services in BC. As of 2005, the LTSA is separate from the BC Government. The LTSA also houses the Surveyor General, which oversees land surveyors. The Surveyor General Office might also have information you are interested in that you can access in your research, such as maps and other information about parcels. Historical Land Titles The process of historical land title searching allows researchers to trace the ownership and geographic boundaries of a piece of land through the LTSA. It also illuminates colonial land and property regimes that govern the ownership of land in Victoria since the 1850s. The search begins with the current title to the land and then can trace backwards the parcel information through time. What Information Does a Land Title Document have? A land title contains the name of the owner of the parcel (either an individual or corporation), the date it was purchased, the legal description of the parcel, and any filed legal notations or charges on the property (e.g. a mortgage or lien).
