Module Two
Module two of the LRA Training Materials is on “The Parcel Description Certification Application (PDCA)”. This is the new legal description that owners of property will use to match the property description written in a deed with the electronic picture of the parcel on the provincial map. This must be done before any parcel can be converted from the old registry system to the new system.
It is important to identify the proper parcel description from a legal perspective and build the description elements from the new electronic system’s perspective as required by the Act and Regulations.
On December 15, 2010, Property Online implemented certain changes to Property Description Certification Application (PDCA) procedures. As a result, some terminologies and procedures, particularly with respect to statements of compliance with the Municipal Government Act (MGA) and amendments to PDCAs, are now different from that appearing in the materials. These will be updated in future editions.
