The provincial government has launched a new website to allow residents to apply for a quitclaim deed under the Primary Residence Property Title Program.

The new online portal is part of recent policy changes to the Lands Act to ease the process when it comes to applying for, or securing title to, Crown lands.

Minister Gerry Byrne says the new portal will help speed up the process.

“Instead of doing a paper copy – all the applications before were paper-based and it took some effort s to be able to fill them out and then to send them off to Crown Lands.” Byrne admits that wasn’t a huge amount of work, but having an online, digital portal that all of these can be done electronically is not only helpful to you as an applicant, but it’s also extremely helpful when we access the application. It’s all digital.”
