Nationwide parcel data for engineering services

Civil and site engineers need accurate parcel geometry before a design ever leaves the office. Land Records delivers nationwide boundaries, area, and parcel IDs as standards-compliant services — ready for your CAD and GIS.

Precise parcels for site plans and feasibility

Ordering records one county at a time stalls feasibility. A standardized nationwide parcel layer gives every project the same reliable base.

Start with real geometry

Boundaries and legal acreage to anchor site plans, grading, and yield studies.

Integrates with your stack

OGC-standard WMS/WFS and vector tiles your GIS already speaks.

One base for the whole team

Designers, planners, and reviewers reference the same parcels.

Built for engineering workflows

Feasibility & due diligence

Assess dozens of candidate sites without a records hunt.

Site plans & layout

Anchor design to accurate parcel geometry and acreage.

Yield & massing studies

Test what fits using real boundaries and dimensions.

Survey reconciliation

Compare recorded parcel lines against field data and plats.

GIS data pipelines

Feed a nationwide parcel layer into your spatial database.

Multi-jurisdiction projects

Consistent parcels across municipalities and provincial lines.

Nationwide coverage, standardized and current

The authoritative parcel grid behind landrecords.ca, delivered in the OGC formats your CAD and GIS already use.

Critical attributes, standardized
Boundaries, parcel IDs, area, land use, and civic address — normalized across jurisdictions.
Coverage kept current
11M+ parcels across all 13 provinces and territories — released quarterly as bulk downloads and served by the same web service as our US layer.
Delivery that fits your stack
Bulk downloads, or OGC-compliant WMS/WFS and Mapbox vector tiles for your CAD and GIS tools.

Common questions

Will it work with our GIS and CAD tools?

The web service is OGC-standard (WMS/WFS) plus Mapbox vector tiles, so it drops into the tools you already use.

How accurate is the parcel geometry?

We deliver authoritative recorded parcel boundaries and legal acreage sourced from county records.

Can I evaluate many sites at once?

Yes — screen candidate sites nationwide from one standardized layer instead of ordering records per county.

How do I integrate the data with our systems?

Use bulk file downloads for your data warehouse, or the managed web service (WMS, vector tiles, and feature service) to stream parcels into your GIS and apps.

How current is the data?

The web service (API) is refreshed every two weeks. Bulk downloads are quarterly releases, and an annual license includes a year of those quarterly updates.
