Does GeoWarehouse have to be installed on my computer?
No. GeoWarehouse is an online, web-based product and is accessible from your home or office. There is no complicated set up or installation. GeoWarehouse reports are generated online in a printer-friendly or PDF format allowing you to share information quickly and easily with your clients. All of which can be produced 24 hours per day, 7 days per week!
Can I verify property ownership information using GeoWarehouse?
Yes. You can verify current and past property ownership information through a Property Details report. This data is updated every 15 days (if the information was filed electronically) and weekly (if the information was filed in an LRO), so if you would like current property ownership information (as of the date of the search) you can purchase a Parcel Register* (POLARIS Parcel Register*) in the GeoWarehouse store. The Parcel Register* (POLARIS Parcel Register*) will not only tell you who owns the subject property but will also verify the type of ownership, property identification number, ownership history and more.
*An official product of the Ontario government pursuant to provincial land registration statutes.
How quickly are searches, reports, and other property information available?
