This dataset provides title information (excluding ownership) where there is a relationship to one or more primary parcels.

A Record of Title is a record of a property's owners, legal description and the rights and responsibilities registered against the title.This dataset does not contain any ownership information so that it can be freely distributed. If ownership information is required, you need to apply for access.

There can be multiple parcels associated with a title, and a title may only have a part share in a parcel. This means the shape representing the title will be an aggregation of all parcels that the title is associated with. The ‘spatial extents shared’ attribute when equal to ‘false’ will indicate that title has exclusive interest over all of the shape (this will be case for the vast majority).

The originating data for parcel/title associations includes some non-official sources where the official data does not support a link. For more information see the LINZ website

APIs and web services This dataset is available via ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS REST services, as well as our standard APIs. LDS APIs and OGC web services ArcGIS Online map services

This table provides information on Records of Title that are live and part-cancelled.

This table contains top level, general title data only, such as the title number, type (e.g. Freehold, Unit Title, Cross Lease etc) and status.

A Record of Title is a record of a property's owners, legal description and the rights and responsibilities registered against the title.

If you need more detailed title data such as the legal description, please refer to the NZ Property Titles Estate List table.

This table does not contain ownership data. This is available in the NZ Property Title Owners List table. This is a restricted access dataset and requires you to agree to the LINZ Licence for Personal Data.

For title data that is directly linked to parcel shapes (property boundaries) refer to NZ Property Titles or NZ Property Titles Including Owners. Please note that these datasets are much larger to download, contain duplicated parcel shapes (one for each title that relates to the parcel) and does not contain all of the columns that this table has.

For more information about this table, other property datasets, and how to relate them to each other, refer to the Property Boundary and Ownership Data Dictionary.

This table provides registered (or current) Record of Title estate data.

A Title estate is a type of ownership of a piece of land e.g. fee simple estate, leasehold estate. Estates are used to link the registered owners to the Record of Title. A Record of Title can have more than one estate and type.

This data enables linking between the title information provided in the NZ Property Titles List and registered ownership information in the NZ Property Titles Owners List. Note: The registered owner dataset a restricted access dataset and requires you to agree to the LINZ Licence for Personal Data.

This table can also be linked to the spatial parcel data using the NZ Title Parcel Association List, although care is necessary when making this relationship (refer to the table metadata).

For more information about this table, other property datasets, and how to relate them to each other, refer to the Property Boundary and Ownership Data Dictionary.

This table is used to associate live and part-cancelled Records of Titles to current spatial parcels. There is a many to many relationship between titles and parcels.

This table can be used to link NZ Property Titles List, NZ Property Title Estates List, or NZ Property Title Owners List to spatial parcel layers such as NZ Parcels, NZ Linear Parcels or NZ Primary Parcels

.

The match between live/part-cancelled titles and current parcels is more than 99%.

Note: The originating data for parcel/title associations includes some non-official sources where the official data does not support a link. If you find an link that has a source of 'External' that you believe to be incorrect, please contact us.

NOTE: This pilot layer is now deprecated and replaced by the NZ Property Boundaries layer. This pilot layer will be removed on 26 August 2025. Please update any links you have to the link for the new layer.

NZ Property Hybrid (pilot) provides the best available representation of property boundaries in New Zealand.

Three data sources have been combined to create this hybrid property boundaries layer:

• Rating Units - These are the main data source, taken from the NZ Properties: Unit of Property layer. This layer uses District Valuation Roll data to identify rated properties and aggregates spatialised titles and untitled land associated with a Rating Unit into a single property.
• Titles - Where there are no spatialised rating units, spatialised titles from the NZ Property Titles layer are included, if they are available.
• Parcels – Where there are no rating units or spatialised titles, parcels from the NZ Primary Parcels layer are used to fill the in the remaining gaps.

NZ Property Hybrid (pilot) is updated on a weekly basis. For more information please refer to the NZ Property Hybrid (pilot) Data Dictionary

Please note: NZ Property Hybrid (pilot) is an interim solution while work continues to develop the NZ Properties: Unit of Property layer. For more information about NZ Properties: Unit of Property, please see the New Zealand Property Spine on the Toitū Te Whenua LINZ website.

This dataset identifies land for which no record of title can be found, along with notes and details of any administrators (if available).

The term "Untitled Land" has been chosen to represent land for which no known record of title exists. Title to the land may exist, but if so, it is unknown or unrecorded.

The land parcels incorporated in an untitled land record may be the same as those that are incorporated in a title. Frequently such titles effectively constitute a package of rights to resources on the land, rather than the land itself, which for this purpose we consider to remain untitled until a title is issued for it.

While efforts have been made to address accuracy and data quality, Toitū Te Whenua LINZ does not provide a guarantee that there is no existing title to the land incorporated in an untitled land record.

An administrator may be recorded (if known). This does not confer any form of guarantee of ownership of the land, and is provided only to identify the organisation that is believed to be currently responsible for administration of the land. The administrator of the land may be evidenced by an instrument or instruments other than a title, such as a gazette notice pursuant to a statutory action.

The data will be updated on an ad-hoc basis. As no formal maintenance regime is in place for this data, it may contain outdated information. However, when changes are made, they are reflected on a weekly cycle.

Related tables Please refer to the NZ Untitled Land (pilot) Data Dictionary for detailed metadata and information about this table and its relationships to other tables in this collection.

This dataset provides a representation of the boundaries of all known properties in New Zealand. It consists of a unique identifier for a property, with spatial property boundaries, but no additional attribution.

Each spatial object in this table has an assigned unit_of_property_id, and is created using land parcels and the Landonline: Title Parcel Associations table. This dataset delivers spatial representations of property boundaries for use in mapping products where only a boundary needs to be displayed.

Initially this table is derived using records in the District Valuation Roll (DVR) that meet the requirements for a rated property, as defined by the Rating Valuation Rules 2008. However, in future it could be expanded to include other property perspectives, as listed in the Perspective table.

The table is updated on a weekly basis.

Related tables Together with the NZ Properties: Property-Title Reference table, this dataset will provide a full replica of the National DVR.

Please refer to the NZ Properties Data Dictionary for detailed metadata and information about this table and its relationships to other tables in this collection.

NZ Property Boundaries provides the best available representation of property boundaries in New Zealand.

Three data sources have been combined to create this property boundaries layer:

• Rating Units - These are the main data source, taken from the NZ Properties: Unit of Property layer. This layer uses District Valuation Roll data to identify rateable properties and aggregates all spatialised titles associated with a Rating Unit into a single property.
• Titles - Where there are no spatialised rating units, spatialised titles from the NZ Property Titles layer are included, if they are available.
• Parcels – Where there are no rating units or spatialised titles, parcels from the NZ Primary Parcels layer are used to fill the in the remaining gaps.

NZ Property Boundaries is updated on a weekly basis. For more information please refer to the NZ Property Boundaries Data Dictionary

Please note: NZ Property Boundaries is an interim solution while work continues to develop the NZ Properties: Unit of Property layer. For more information about NZ Properties: Unit of Property, please see the New Zealand Property Spine on the Toitū Te Whenua LINZ website.

APIs and web services This dataset is available via ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS REST services, as well as our standard APIs. LDS APIs and OGC web services ArcGIS Online map services

This dataset provides a non-spatial relationship between unit_of_property_id and title_no from Landonline (Title ID). This table can be used to connect to parcels using the Landonline: Title Parcel Association table. This table provides a PDMF-compliant link between property and title.

The data is updated on a weekly basis.

QLDC owned land, as per the NZ Property Titles Including Owners layer in the LINZ Data Service. The full content of that layer may not be shared publicly (requires a login in the LINZ Data Service), but this view containing only parcels owned by QLDC can be shared freely.https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/50805-nz-property-titles-including-owners/

This dataset provides a non-spatial data table linked to the unique Unit of Property ID. The table contains local Territorial Authority (TA) IDs or the IDs of other agencies that provide perspectives. In future this may change to become a number of tables with potentially other property-related links included.

This table forms part of a national set of Connected Property Data conforming to the Property Data Management Framework (PDMF) that will deliver packages of data about properties. This is known as the NZ Property Spine.

Initially, properties represented in the NZ Property Spine will meet the definition of a rating unit as defined by the Rating Valuation Rules 2008 (for the Valuation perspective). Future properties will meet the rules defined for their appropriate perspectives. The Perspective for each property in the NZ Property Spine is listed in this table.

The table contains the fields perspective_type and source_id that allows identification of the type of property, and the source of the property. A property must have one or more perspectives.

The table is updated on a weekly basis.

Related tables Together with the NZ Properties: Property Title Reference and Unit of Property tables, this dataset will provide a national spatial representation of property boundaries along with the type and source of the property. Otherwise known as the NZ Property Spine.

Please refer to the NZ Properties Data Dictionary for detailed metadata and information about this table and its relationships to other tables in this collection.

This dataset provides a subset of the national collection of District Valuation Roll (DVR) data which is available under an open (CC:BY 4.0) licence. The data is based on DVR property audit files supplied to Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand by Territorial Authorities. The data is limited to that supplied by those Territorial Authorities that have given permission for their District Valuation Roll data to be made public by Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand.

National DVR data for all Territorial Authorities is accessible for government organisations only, from NZ Properties: National District Valuation Roll (Restricted Access).

This table is updated weekly.

Related tables Together with the associated look-up tables, this dataset will provide a subset of a replica of the national DVR.

Please refer to the NZ Properties Data Dictionary for detailed metadata and information about this table and its relationships to other tables in this collection.

Data structure The structure of this table is based on the District Valuation Roll Property Audit File data structure set out in the Rating Valuations Rules 2008, with the following exceptions:

• Unit of Property ID is added to give a primary key link to other tables
• Ratepayer and Owner information is not included (this information is not supplied to LINZ by TAs as this is private information)
• Field names have been altered to be more descriptive
• Some field lengths have been increased to avoid truncation (e.g. Legal Description, Situation Name)

This table is used to associate LINZ Managed Crown Properties to current primary spatial parcels. For some records, there is a one to many relationship between properties and parcels.

This table can be used to link the LINZ Managed Crown Property dataset to parcel layers such as NZ Parcels, NZ Linear Parcels or NZ Primary Parcels

More information on Crown Property can be found under the Crown Property section on the LINZ Website.

NZ Parcel Boundaries Wireframe provides a map of land, road and other parcel boundaries, and is especially useful for displaying property boundaries.
This map service is for visualisation purposes only and is not intended for download. You can download the full parcels data from the NZ Parcels dataset.
This map service provides a dark outline and transparent fill, making it perfect for overlaying on our basemaps or any map service you choose.
Data for this map service is sourced from the NZ Parcels dataset which is updated weekly with authoritative data direct from LINZ’s Survey and Title system. Refer to the NZ Parcel layer for detailed metadata.
To simplify the visualisation of this data, the map service filters the data from the NZ Parcels layer to display parcels with a status of 'current' only.
This map service has been designed to be integrated into GIS, web and mobile applications via LINZ’s WMTS and XYZ tile services. View the Services tab to access these services.
See the LINZ website for service specifications and help using WMTS and XYZ tile services and more information about this service.

This layer provides the current land parcel polygons with associated descriptive data and is provided for users that require a separation of road parcels and hydro parcels and thereby require the balance layer (i.e. the remaining primary parcels).

The combination of this layer with the road parcels and hydro parcels equates to the primary parcels layer which provides all current parcels for New Zealand (i.e. excludes historic and pending parcels).

This layer has a nominal accuracy of 0.1-1m in urban areas and 1-100m in rural areas. For more detailed information about parcel accuracies please refer to the Survey Boundary Marks layer which contains accuracies for each parcel node.

This set of three parcel layers ('road', 'hydro' and 'land') tables easy access to the most common groupings of parcel intents.

If you require approved or historic parcels see the All Parcels Layer

The originating data for parcel/title associations includes some non-official sources where the official data does not support a link. For more information see

This layer provides the current non primary linear parcels (e.g. Centreline easements) and their associated descriptive data as a single layer to facilitate their use independently of other non primary parcels.

Linear parcels are non-primary parcels that are defined by a line and a description e.g. the width. The most common example is centreline easements (in gross) e.g. Pipeline easements.

If you require approved or historic linear parcels see the All Parcels Layer

This layer has a nominal accuracy of 0.1-1m in urban areas and 1-100m in rural areas. For more detailed information about parcel accuracies please refer to the Survey Boundary Marks layer which contains accuracies for each parcel node.

This pilot dataset provides a non-spatial relationship between unit_of_property_id and untitled_land_id from the NZ Property Untitled Land (pilot) dataset. This table can be used to connect to parcels using the NZ Untitled Land-Primary Parcel Association List. This table provides a PDMF-compliant link between property and untitled land record.

The term "Untitled Land" has been chosen to represent land for which no known record of title exists. Title to the land may exist, but if so, it is unknown or unrecorded. The administrator of this land may be evidenced by records other than a title, such as a gazette notice pursuant to a statutory action.

The land parcels incorporated in an untitled land record may be the same as those that are incorporated in a title. Frequently such titles effectively constitute a package of rights to resources on the land, rather than the land itself, which for this purpose we consider to remain untitled until a title is issued for it.

While efforts have been made to address accuracy and data quality, Toitū Te Whenua LINZ does not provide a guarantee that there is no existing title to the land incorporated in an untitled land record.

The data is updated on a weekly basis.

This layer provides all cadastral parcel polygons and some associated descriptive data that details the appellation (legal description), purpose, size and a list of titles that have an interest in the parcel.

NOTE: This layer contains primary and non-primary approved, current or historic linear parcels (see status flag descriptions for more information).

In conjunction with the Linear Parcels, this layer provides the easiest way to create a relationship with associated tables such as Parcel Title Association List, Parcel Statutory Actions List and "http://data.linz.govt.nz/table/1568-nz-survey-affected-parcels-list">Survey Affected Parcels List.

This layer contains spatial and non-spatial (without geometry) parcels. The Landonline system which manages the data maintains non-spatial parcels for many different reasons. The non-spatial parcels can only be accessed via WFS or as a full layer file download. No layer clips can be used. The most common reasons for non-spatial parcels are:

1. Flats and unit survey plans will create non-spatial parcels for referencing property rights. This is because the Landonline system has not yet been designed to support the spatial definition of these plans.

2. Titles which were not linked to a spatial parcel during the Landonline title conversion project created non-spatial parcel references. As titles are spatially linked many of these non-spatial parcels will be made historic or will be merged with the associated spatial parcel.

Parcels within this layer contain the following status flags:

• Approved: The definition of a survey-defined parcel that has been processed and authorised as correct in terms of the survey network.

-

             Current: A parcels that has been registered or the parcel is made current by a statutory action against a Legalisation plan.

-

             Survey Historic: A parcel that has been extinguished from the primary cadastral network but still exists in live Title estates.

-

             Historic: A parcel that has been extinguished from the primary cadastral network and no longer exists in live Title estates
             or has an current recorded statutory action. Typically this happens when a parcel is subdivided or merged, and new titles
             or actions are registered against the replacing parcels. Note: Only parcel made historic since the beginning of Landonline
             operations (2002) are included.See this [page](https://www.linz.govt.nz/products-services/data/types-linz-data/property-ownership-and-boundary-data/historic-property-databases)
             for the actual dates when Landonline operations started.

Polygons within this layer have a nominal accuracy of 0.1-1m in urban areas and 1-100m in rural areas. For more detailed information about parcel accuracies please refer to the Survey Boundary Marks layer which contains accuracies for each parcel node.

The originating data for parcel/title associations includes some non-official sources where the official data does not support a link. For more information see.

This layer provides Land District shapes and their name.

A Land District is an administrative area that all titles and surveys were registered against prior to Landonline. It is required to uniquely identify survey and title records created prior to Landonline.

This table is used to associate untitled land records in the NZ Property Untitled Land (pilot) dataset, to current spatial parcels in the Landonline: Parcel layer. There is a many to many relationship between untitled land records and primary parcels.

The term "Untitled Land" has been chosen to represent land for which no known record of title exists. Title to the land may exist, but if so, it is unknown or unrecorded. The administrator of this land may be evidenced by records other than a title, such as a gazette notice pursuant to a statutory action.

The land parcels incorporated in an untitled land record may be the same as those that are incorporated in a title. Frequently such titles effectively constitute a package of rights to resources on the land, rather than the land itself, which for this purpose we consider to remain untitled until a title is issued for it.

While efforts have been made to address accuracy and data quality, Toitū Te Whenua LINZ does not provide a guarantee that there is no existing title to the land incorporated in an untitled land record.

The data is updated on a weekly basis.
