ParcelMap BC Parcel Fabric
ParcelMap BC is the current, complete and trusted mapped representation of titled and Crown land parcels across British Columbia, considered to be the point of truth for the graphical representation of property boundaries. It is not the authoritative source for the legal property boundary or related records attributes; this will always be the plan of survey or the related registry information. This particular dataset is a subset of the complete ParcelMap BC data and is comprised of the parcel fabric and attributes for over two million parcels published under the Open Government Licence - British Columbia.
Notes:
-
Parcel title information is sourced from the BC Land Title Register. Title questions should be directed to a local Land Title Office.
-
This dataset replaces the Integrated Cadastral Fabric.

Provenance Text

ParcelMap BC data is continually updated by the ParcelMap BC Operations team at the Land Title and Survey Authority of BC. New plans and other parcel fabric updates enter the maintenance queue upon registration or confirmation with an update publication service target of approximately two business days. The B.C. Government currently refreshes this view of the ParcelMap BC data on a weekly cycle (Sundays). **Note**: The reprojection from NAD83 (CSRS)/BC Albers (EPSG 3153) used to produce this NAD83/BC Albers (EPSG 3005) product makes use of the following NTv2 grid correction files, as described at https://webapp.geod.nrcan.gc.ca/geod/tools-outils/ntv2.php: |Coverage|FROM|TO|Grid| |:--|:--|:--|:--| |BC (CRD)|NAD83(Original)|NAD83(CSRS) 1997|CRD93_00| |BC (Vancouver Island) |NAD83(Original) |NAD83(CSRS) 1997 |NVI93_05| |BC Mainland|NAD83(Original)|NAD83(CSRS) 2002|BC_93_05| <br> This will result in significant shifts for some parcels, relative to results that were previously downloaded from this page. |Statistic|Value| |:--|:--| |Maximum deviation:| 21.43 metres| |Percentage with deviation > 1 metre: |.0321% (536/1669316)| |Average deviation:| .08061 metres (std dev: .09326 metres)| |Median deviation:| .05576 metres| <br> Please contact [email protected] for more information about this change. |
