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

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.

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

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

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 "https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/50772-nz-primary-parcels/">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 "https://data.linz.govt.nz/document/25153-nz-property-hybrid-pilot-data-dictionary/">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 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.

This layer includes all Crown Land and Properties managed by LINZ which have been identified spatially and can include properties managed by LINZ on behalf of other agencies. The attributes in this dataset are derived from the National Property and Land Information System (NaPALIS), which is a centralised database for all Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) and Department of Conservation (DOC) administered land.

The boundaries of many properties are linked to the applicable Landonline Primary Parcel(s), but in some cases the boundaries may have been drawn in as unsurveyed parcels to varying degrees of accuracy. As such please note that the boundaries are indicative only. The layer excludes any LINZ managed properties which do not have an identified location or extent.

More information on Crown Property can be found under the "http://www.linz.govt.nz/crown-property">Crown Property section on the LINZ Website. A subset of Crown Property can be found in the "https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/1572-south-island-pastoral-leases/">South Island Pastoral Leases layer. A table of Property associations to Primary Parcels is published in the LDS here.

Point locations for most current property titles issued in NZ (January 2010)

Titles from the LINZ BDE are not a spatial layer. A single point for each title has been geocoded from the relation tables to the first parcel centroid where a link exists.

Many parcels have more than one title reference, so there may be a stack of points for a title, typical in a crosslease.

There is only one point per title. Where a title spans multiple parcels, a relate would need to be built to identify all the parcels comprising a title. While this can be done for one title, it is impractical for a map. Internal parcel boundaries can be suppressed to show contiguous parcels with the same title. Parcel boundaries are coded for internal boundaries (featurecode = 'parcel_int').

A property (for rating purposes) may contain many titles, but there is no information in the titles or valuation system to display this. The valuation system does not have a complete record of titles for an assessment (amazing isn't it?). Because large properties are often in multiple titles and owners there is no information to amalgamate the parts into a single entity.

A large number (500,000) of titles cannot be automatically located because the parcel that the title refers to is no longer current and is not mapped in LandOnline. Other reasons are ambiguous appellation that prevents a reliable match so they are not linked by LINZ until they come up for a change of title, not just change of owner.

Titles can have multiple owners, so these have been added as an abbreviated list to each title. Owners can be companies or trusts.

Total number 1.78 million.

Warning: This set of titles is subject to recall if a protected title is issued in error.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

National district valuation roll (DVR) data, from a collection provided to Landcare Research by Headway Systems. DVR data includes information describing land, improvement, and capital values for ratings units; as well as council zoning, and actual property use according to the LINZS30300 specification (Rating Valuations Rules 2008: version date 1 October 2010). Contact Glenn Hughes, Director, Headway Systems if you are interested in more information about the raw data that underlies the derived data which forms this collection. The raw data is aspatial; the added value in this collection is the association to parcels (geospatial polygons), although ultimately much data is published in raster format as a derived product. Actual data is stored in DataStore with restricted access. Property valuation Who does property valuations in New Zealand? Local councils undertake rating valuations, and they often contract valuation service providers (VSP) like QV. Property valuations are done by registered valuers. — LINZ When rating valuations occur Local authorities carry out property valuations to help determine your annual property rates. Rating valuation notices and rates demands are issued by local authorities. Valuations occur at least every three years. Contact your local authority about their revaluation schedule or for your current rating valuation. — LINZ Re-rating Headway Systems noted that the country is divided into thirds (40%:30%:30%) for the purposes of re-rating, on a three-year cycle. However, many of the anticipated re-rating dates were missed or postponed by councils due to COVID-19 in the 2020–2022 period, which has affected this dataset's underlying information, presumably with more out-of-date information than would have otherwise been the case. Historical valuations Headway Systems were contracted by Landcare Research to supply historical valuations dating back to 2013. They did so. However, historical records have so far been ignored, because there is no robust process for associating a title to a parcel or parcels at a particular point in time. That is, a title in 2013 referred to a particular parcel or parcels, but if it was later subject to subdivision, the historical association from title to parcel(s) is lost—LINZ only provides present-day title-parcel associations for download. Therefore, at present, only current valuations are provided in this collection. (Current to the data supply date.) LINZ is actively seeking to make its historic title-parcel association available, so this may change in the future. Property titles, and property parcels The original data from Headway Systems was cleaned and then associated to LINZ parcels, using property titles as a foreign key. One valuation unit may have one or more property titles, and a property title may have one or more associated parcels. The title-parcel association is performed by LINZ, who make this data available in an "evergreen" fashion: https://www.linz.govt.nz/land/land-records/types-land-records/property-titles-and-plans The title-parcel association data was downloaded to a file when DVR was obtained, as a point-in-time record in order to correctly perform the spatialisation of the DVR.
