When I look at the title to my house, it seems to have a bunch of funny looking words and numbers that don't bear any resemblance to my house address. What do they mean?

Your house address is a method of describing the location of your property devised by your municipality. It is quite different from the legal description of your property that is used at Land Titles. For land that is located in a city, town, village or acreage, the legal description is defined by plan number, block number, and lot number. Local municipalities approve plans for subdivisions of lands within their jurisdiction. This subdivision plan is reviewed by Land Titles and assigned a plan number.
