Important Notice Regarding Document Registration Request (DRR) Extensions
Posted Tuesday, April 7, 2026
 
Effective April 01, 2026, requests to extend deficient DRRs beyond 30 days will no longer be approved. If you are unable to resubmit deficient documents within the legislated 30-day return period, please resubmit the document package on a new DRR.
 
 
Important Notice Regarding Increasing Refund Threshold
Dated Wednesday March 11, 2026
 
Effective April 1, 2026, Land Titles and Surveys refund policies are changing. Our threshold for issuing a refund cheque will increase from $5 to $20 and the refund threshold will apply to all non-charge account holder payment refunds, not just overpayments.
 
If your submission is rejected but the fees were correct and are below the $20 threshold, these fees will be re-applied to resubmissions. Fees cannot be transferred to a different DRR or service.
 
Professional users are encouraged to apply for a Land Titles and Surveys Charge Account to avoid impacts due to this change in policy.
