Mapping Services & Geographic Information System (GIS)

If you want a MAP of your property, a Cadastral map showing subdivided lots (drawn to scale but without dimensions) can be obtained from the Planning Department. A copy of your Land Registry Survey Plan with dimensions can be obtained from the Land Title Office or the Planning Department.

Web based interactive mapping is now available for the RDCK including municipalities and rural areas. Check out the Online Property and Information System (PIMS).  Click here to view the PIMS Manual.

Geographic Information System

The Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Regional District forms the electronic foundation for the provision of land parcel based information and services. The data model in place allows staff at the Regional District to provide mapping and analysis functions which are specific to many Regional District services such as Land Use Planning, Building Inspection Services, Utility Services, Bylaw Enforcement, Administration, Waste Management, Property Information, Emergency Planning and Emergency Services (9-1-1).
