Land Titles Office

The land registration system in Yukon is based on the Torrens System of land registration. The Land Titles Act establishes the system of registration of title to privately owned lands, as well as providing for the officials to operate the system, and the records that are to be maintained by them. Under this system, the government has custody of all original documents, titles, and plans of survey and is responsible for the validity and security of all registered land title information.
