Crown Land Cadastal Data

Crown Cadastral Data for British Columbia is available for purchase in digital format. The spatial data we provide through this site is current. The original data is updated daily in SDE format by our GIS section. Although the data we provide to you is the most current digital spatial data available on the day we extract your data, the spatial data is updated daily by our GIS staff; therefore, all data we provide is subject to the disclaimer which is part of the agreement in Step #2 below.

Online Cadastre is a free online mapping application that provides a 'view only' representation of this cadastral data.

Our Process and Timing

When we receive your order we will check it to ensure the three items specified in Step #5 are included and correct. If everything we require is received, we will usually have your maps ready within three business days.

In most cases we can email the spatial data to you when you order less than 3 megabytes of data (approximately 8 average sized BCGS maps). For larger orders we either FTP the maps to your FTP site or we will setup a password protected FTP site on our server where you can retrieve the maps.

Please provide your direct telephone number and your email address in all correspondence.
