Entities excluded from filing requirements

Last updated on December 30, 2025

The Land Owner Transparency Act ("the Act") excludes specific types of corporations, limited liability companies, and trusts.

If the Land Owner Transparency Registry enforcement team requests that you determine if you are a reporting body or demands information to verify that you are excluded under the Act, you must notify them in writing whether an exclusion applies. 

  • Email LOTAENQ@gov.bc.ca, state how you meet the criteria of a specific exclusion under Schedules 1 or 2 of the Act and provide any relevant records

Note: An exclusion that is applicable to a corporation is extended to a wholly owned subsidiary of that corporation.
