Records of land ownership are public information in Alberta.  Anyone can request a land title search on any piece of land in Alberta.  This search provides the names of the registered owner/s and in most cases, financial details such as liens, encumbrances and mortgages as well.

 

All we need to process a search is the legal land description. We can do a current search, a historical search, cancelled title search, and also pull copies of specific documents registered against the title. Some historical searches are available immediately, while others may take 5-10 business days.

Changes to land titles, including removing liens, encumbrances, and caveats, can only be performed by Alberta Land Titles.

For more information on searches and search results, visit Alberta Land Titles.
