ISC's Survey Plan Registry plays an important role in land transaction processes in Saskatchewan. This area consists of two business units.
The Plan Process and Examination team reviews all plans to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and operates the Land Surveys Directory that includes storage, maintenance and distribution of official survey plans, township plans, field notes, reports, etc..
The GIS Data team completes the entry of all submitted plans into the Land Surveys Directory and provides continuous maintenance to the property and feature layers of the GIS Cadastral Data Base.
In addition to an officially approved plan and updated database, another important output from the Land Transaction process is the creation of the Transform Approval Certificate, which enables the titling of new parcels of land.
Plans are examined to ensure compliance with The Land Surveys Act, 2000, The Land Surveys Regulations, The Land Titles Act, The Planning and Development Act, 1983 and The Condominium Property Act, 1993, which are available from our
Acts & Regulations page.
There are a number of forms and templates that may assist you with amending plans, cancelling condominiums, changing parcel class codes or consolidating parcels of land.
