The Land Court Survey Division maintains a collection of registered land records dating back to 1898. Many of the records created after 2000 are also kept electronically. These records are available for public review on site at the Land Court and, as of June 2023, any records kept electronically can be found by searching the internet with the new self-service Land Court Public Access Site.
Join in the discussion as the Land Court Chief Surveyor demonstrates the capabilities of the public access system, and how you can access it and successfully search for the plan information you need. Learn practical tips for finding documents and plan images online which can be viewed and downloaded free of charge.
