The Municipal Property Record Problem

The State of Records Request Processing

Today, many Canadian property information request (PIR) services make use of a patchwork of legacy systems and paper records, falling far behind modern technology. Taking a single PIR from start to finish requires a significant amount of manual labour from city clerks, resulting in long turnaround times.

Impacts From Today's Systems

Many intake processes across the country require the requestor to visit in person, lack online payment options, or need several corrections and communications before the request is ready to be processed. Service delivery is limited by available resources, increasing wait times in peak months. Real estate agents submitting multiple requests at once further amplify the impacts of these systems.

As a necessary part of obtaining property records for renovations and property sales, these pains seem unavoidable for citizens.
