Modernizing Land Titles

Land Titles and Surveys in-person service is still paused in Calgary and Edmonton to help us reduce processing times and support modernization of our registry system. Support continues to be available through phone and email.

Overview

Albertans and investors depend on the efficient processing of land titles.

The Alberta government is implementing a modernized land titles system to help increase efficiency, streamline processes, reduce wait times and continuously improve services to address Albertans’ evolving needs. Modernization will provide the tools needed to manage the $340 million processed through Alberta’s Land Titles office each day – and the more than $50 billion in real estate transactions conducted each year, which continually reinforce Alberta’s strong economy.

December 2026 transition to ARLO

With the December 2026 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
  • quick-reference guides
  • fact sheets

What’s coming to Alberta Registry for Land Online (ARLO) 

August 2026 release

As part of Land Titles Modernization, new and enhanced digital services will be introduced in ARLO to improve how users search, purchase and access land titles and other registry products.

With multiple enhancements being introduced, stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed and review updated guidance as new features become available and to look out for more information on ARLO’s latest features and events in upcoming Title Talk issues.

ARLO is available at Alberta Registry for Land Online (ARLO Site).

  • Product selection and search experience enhancements

    The search experience has been streamlined by replacing tile-based product selection with dropdown menus for both product and search type. Users can now select products and search criteria from a single, consistent interface, reducing navigation and making it easier to switch between search options.

    Why this matters

    • Navigate a simpler, more streamlined search experience.
    • Access search options through a consistent, standardized interface.

  • Alberta Survey Control Markers (ASCM), township plans and field notes

    Previously accessible via SPIN2, users can now search for and access ASCMs, township plans and field notes. Township plans are available for purchase. ASCMs and field notes are available for download at no cost.

    Why this matters

    • Access records and survey products through ARLO.
    • Reduce reliance on legacy systems.
    • Enjoy a consistent search experience.
    • Find, purchase and download records from a single platform.

  • Non-patent sheets

    Users can now search for current and historical non-patent sheets using a variety of search methods, including:

    • Plan/Block/Lot
    • Alberta Township System (ATS)
    • Title number
    • Land Identification Numeric Code (LINC) number
    • Registered document number

    ARLO’s enhanced map functionality also allows users to search, select, view and manage non-patent sheets.

    Why this matters

    • Search and purchase non-patent sheets in ARLO.
    • Reduce reliance on legacy systems.
    • Find records more easily with enhanced search tools.
    • Use map-based workflows to locate land records.

December 2026 release

  • ARLO Pro accounts: Prepare now

    With December 2026 approaching, 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 smooth transition to ARLO before December 2026.
    • 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.
