PDF Plan of Survey
Parcel Plans are generally prepared for descriptive purposes and when registered at Land Titles do not in themselves divide the title.  "Parcels" as opposed to "Lots" characterize plans of Survey and letters (A, B, C, etc) identifies parcels.  Rarely would a Plan of Survey require any zoning approval, however, the City of Winnipeg must approve the application before Land Titles will accept the registration

PDF Consent
Consent applications are generally made for two (2) reasons:

  • To convey a portion of a title out to another title or;
  • To allow for the registration of a long term lease, (Consent to lease) on a portion of a title.

Consent to convey applications are similar in fashion and process to a subdivision application. The applicant wishes to convey (transfer) a parcel, or part lot, from a title to a separate title. For zoning purposes, the land contained within each title that may be issued as a result of approval of the consent must meet the minimum lot width and area requirements of the zoning district, have frontage on a public street and comply all development standards of the applicable zoning by-law

Consent to lease application is a bit more complex

  • Is the lease over 21 years including renewal periods?
    • If less than 21 years, no consent from the City of Winnipeg is required.
  • What area does the lease cover?
    • If it covers the whole title, then no consent is needed; or,
    • If it only covers the floor space of a building, then no consent is needed; or,
    • If it is only a portion of the title, then a Plan of Survey may be required
