These records detail the chain of ownership of a property through plan and lot number. The date of each change of ownership can be determined but the existence of any specific building is not shown.
Land Registry records are on the Ontario Land Property Records Portal (OnLand).
To use these records efficiently you must have the property’s lot and Concession or plan of Subdivision number. This information can be found on the Deed, Property Survey, or by searching OnLand.
