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

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.

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.

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 LUCAS NZ Land Use Map 2016 v011 is composed of New Zealand-wide land use classifications (12) nominally at 1 January 1990, 1 January 2008, 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2016 (known as "1990", "2008", "2012" and "2016"). These date boundaries were dictated by the First and Second Commitment Periods of the Kyoto Protocol. The layer can therefore be used to create either a 1990, 2008, 2012 or 2016 land use map depending on what field is symbolised.

This layer provides the current primary 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.

A primary parcel is a portion of land that is intended to be : • owned by the Crown, except moveable marginal strips • Held in fee simple (predominately private ownership) • Maori freehold land or Maori customary land • Public foreshore and seabed • The bed of a lake or river • Road or Railway • Vested in a local authority

Primary parcels can be thought of as the 'base level' of the 'jigsaw puzzle' of all land making up New Zealand. Other 'levels' are NZ Non-primary parcels that essentially limit the full rights that would normally be associated with a primary parcel for example easements, covenants, leases and moveable marginal strips etc.

If you require approved or historic 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.

The combination of this layer with the non-primary parcels layer provides all current parcels for New Zealand (i.e. excludes Historic and Pending parcels)

This layer provides the latest captured boundary mark information that defines existing parcel boundaries and associated information such as the mark name.

A boundary mark is on a node which defines the boundaries of primary parcels or non primary parcels.

Not all boundary points have a physical monument (e.g. a peg) placed. In this case the boundary mark is recorded as “unmarked”

This dataset extends the Landonline stored data by including the network accuracy which is based upon its assigned Landonline order - refer LINZS25006 (http://www.linz.govt.nz/about-linz/news-publications-and-consultations/search-for-regulatory-documents/DocumentSummary.aspx?document=256 ).

The accuracy provided relates to the accuracy of coordinates of the mark and has little relevance to the accuracy of the boundary in relation to other boundaries. For example, if the coordinates of the mark were used to locate it, a user would expect to find the existing mark within the nominal accuracy (distance) stated.

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.

Spatial representation of DOC's management units defined by various acts of parliament and legislation. The attributes in this dataset are derived from the (NaPALIS) National Property and Land Information System, which is a centralised database for all Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) and Department of Conservation (DOC) administered land.

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.

This layer is a visualisation of the baseline extent of Highly Productive Land, represented here as Land Use Capability classes 1, 2 and 3, as mapped in the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory, and correlated according to the national legend. The actual boundaries of Highly Productive Land in a particular location will differ to this visualisation, depending on the relevant council rural and urban zoning boundaries as defined in the National Policy Statement for Highly Productive Land (refer to clause 3.5). Please refer to your local council for this information.

By late 2025 it is expected that each regional council will also have remapped the extent of Highly Productive Land for their region, following the requirements in the National Policy Statement for Highly Productive Land (refer to clause 3.4). When this is done that updated regional map will replace the map presented here. Please refer to your local council for this information.

Bay of Plenty Land Use Project 2017 by BOPRC.The purpose of this layer was to help build a baseline data set for a region wide Integrated Catchment Model. As there was no complete region scale coverage landuse dataset that modelled current state, we decided to build one. The project took 3 different approaches to map the landuse. 1) Using existing data landuse type datasets like lcdbv4, landcare data, agribase (which all used different scales, time periods, coverage, methods of development) and 2) from aerial photography (2011, 2014 coastal, part 2016 where available and satellite/google earth inagery) and 3) then ran some ground truthing for validation where possible.

The Northland Regional Council Selected Land-use Register (SLR) is a list of selected land-use sites (SLU sites) that have been used for any activity included in the Ministry for the Environment’s Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL).

The HAIL is a compilation of activities and industries that have the potential to result in soil contamination.

The SLR provides a history of land-use for any given property where a HAIL activity has been undertaken (whether current or historical) and not all sites recorded on the SLR are contaminated. The SLR is also not a comprehensive list of all sites that have a HAIL land-use history, it is a live record and therefore continually being updated.

The SLR is currently under review as part of a national consistent data project. Site classifications will be updated and locations will be changing from points to polygons.

The data is updated nightly to incorporate any changes or additions by staff and NRC welcomes dialogue with customers regarding information that we have or that they may have which will fill in any data gaps.

If you have any queries regarding the SLR, or wish to provide any information regarding a site, please contact the contaminated land team at contamination@nrc.govt.nz

Definitions for site classifications can be found here.
