Modernizing Land Titles

Users can now search, purchase, and download cancelled products (titles, condominium sheets, and non-patent sheets) directly in ARLO. Cancelled products can be searched using an existing product number search to find a specific cancelled product, or through a new Cancelled Title search to view the chain of related title records using either a current or cancelled title number.

Why this matters

• Search for specific cancelled products or explore title history
• Reduce reliance on legacy systems
• Purchase and download records from a single platform

ARLO’s map has been expanded to include mineral rights titles, condominium sheets, unmapped monument plans, and unmapped new plans. Users can search, view, select, preview, add to cart, remove from cart, and purchase these records directly from the map. Updates also include new map layers, markers, legend enhancements, and support for viewing non-patent sheets.

Why this matters

• Access more records through map-based workflows
• Search and manage additional products directly from the map
• Find records more easily using enhanced map tools
   

Previously accessible through SPIN2, users can now search for and access cemeteries in ARLO at no cost. Searches can be completed by cemetery name, place, ATS location, file number, and Plan/Block/Lot. Cemeteries can also be viewed using the ARLO parcel map.

Why this matters

• Access cemetery information directly in ARLO
• Reduce reliance on legacy systems
• Search using multiple criteria, including map-based tools

Users can now select multiple or all records from search results and add to cart in a single action (up to 100 documents at once). Selections are retained as users navigate between result pages, making it easy to manage large sets of records.

Why this matters

• Select multiple documents in a single action
• Quickly add or remove records from a selection
• Improve efficiency when working with large result sets

Users can now search for survey plans using the Settlement search type in both the Search and Map features. This search allows users to locate all survey plans associated with a specific settlement lot by selecting values from pre-populated drop-down lists. Depending on the settlement selected, users may be required to provide a Settlement and Block, Settlement and Lot, or Settlement, Block, and Lot.

Why this matters

• Quickly find survey plans associated with settlement-based land descriptions
• Improve search accuracy using pre-populated search criteria
• Improve flexibility when locating records

With the transition to Alberta Registry for Land Online (ARLO) drawing closer, organizations and users are encouraged to begin preparing now. The new Land Titles modernization resources page provides practical tools and guidance to help users learn about ARLO functionality. Following the transition, SPIN2 will be retired, and ARLO will become the system of record for land titles services in Alberta.

This page provides helpful ARLO support resources, including:

• on-demand demo videos 
• product-reference guides 
• fact sheets

With the transition to ARLO drawing closer, now is the time to set up your organization's ARLO Pro account. ARLO Pro enables Account Administrators to manage users, permissions, and account details in one place. Early onboarding gives organizations more time to activate accounts, invite users and become familiar with ARLO before the transition.

To nominate an Account Administrator, email [email protected].

Why this matters

ARLO Pro allows organizations to:

• manage users, permissions, billing and account information
• support a proactive transition to ARLO
• activate accounts, onboard users and get familiar with ARLO
• stay informed as new ARLO features and guidance become available and watch for updates in future Title Talk issues

SPIN2 and ALTO systems will remain operational until their search functions become fully available in ARLO. ARLO will eventually replace all search and data-base functions in current systems. Transition updates will continue to be shared as they become available.
