A plan is required to change the shape of a parcel or parcels, such as in a subdivision or consolidation.  Every parcel also has a class code or type.  A plan is also required to change the parcel type, e.g. from “municipal reserve” to a “generic” parcel.  Both types of situations are considered “transforms” and a plan must be prepared to effect the change.

Once a plan has been approved and a Transform Approval Certificate (TAC) has been issued, you are in a position to have titles issued for the new parcels created by the plan.  To obtain the titles, you must apply to the Land Registry.
 
The Transform Approval Certificate (TAC) details both the source parcel(s) and the new parcel(s), and any changes from the source to new parcels, including any change in the parcel class code.  The TAC is valid for one year from its approval date.   However, you can apply to renew the TAC for another year, after the initial one-year period has expired. 
 
During the time the TAC is valid, you may apply to have titles issued to the new parcels.  Titles must be issued for all the new parcels in the transform at the same time, which requires surrender of all the source parcels at the same time.

This website is prepared to help you apply for titles pursuant to an approved plan.  Please note that this website does not deal with application for titles pursuant to condominium plans.  For information on condominiums, call Customer Support.
 
You will also find sections on the registration and discharge of interests, as they apply particularly to transform situations, as well as a section on parcel tie codes and their implications on setting up ownership to the new parcels in a transform.
