Search by Street Address

You might perform this search if you know a property's civic address (e.g., 1537 Hillside Avenue, Victoria) and you want to find the property's PID number or legal description.

On the Search Criteria screen, under Available Reports, choose one of the three report types (based on the level of detail you require). See Report Types.

Roll Year
Leave at default value, or select the previous roll year from the lookup list. For historical information refer to Previous Roll Years.

Area (optional)
If you want to restrict your search to a specific area, select it from the lookup list. If you select all areas your search will cover all areas in the province.

Jurisdiction (optional)
If you want to further restrict your search to a specific jurisdiction within an area, select it from the lookup list. If you select all jurisdictions your search will cover all jurisdictions in the specified area.

The Address Search section contains five fields:

Street #
Type the property's first (or only) street number (up to six digits). If you are unsure of a street number, or if you have trouble locating a property, you can widen the search using an asterisk * as a wild card to signify “anything.” For example, if you type 153* the system will list all properties with addresses that begin with 153.

Tip
Use a wild card in the Street # field only if you have trouble finding a property.

To
If the property comprises several addresses, type the exact street number at the other end of the property's range (up to six digits). For example, if the property you seek comprises several street numbers, from 1537 Hillside to 1539 Hillside, you could enter 1537 in the Street Number field and 1539 in the To field. Use the To field only if you know the exact address.

Unit #
If applicable, type the property's unit number (up to six digits).

Street Name
Type as much of the property's street name as you feel is appropriate (up to 18 characters), always followed by an asterisk.

Tip
If the address was entered into the system as “Hillside Avenue” and you specify “Hillside Ave” as the street name search criteria, the system will not find the property. To solve this problem, you should always use an asterisk character * as a wild card to signify “anything.” For example, you could type HILLSIDE* (or even HILL*).

Dir
Lets you add a direction to a street name, if necessary.

For example, to specify West Broadway, you would select W from the Direction lookup list.

Click Address Search to start your search. If any properties match your search criteria, you will go to the Confirmation screen. Click Confirm to complete your search and receive the Report Screen.

You can click Return if you want to return to the previous screen without searching.
