About the ILRR

The Integrated Land and Resource Registry ILRR is a consolidation of tenures, rights and interests. Data is visually represented on a map and available using a standard web browser. The registry contains:

  • Crown land parcel data
  • Private land parcel data (where available)
  • Administrative boundaries
  • Base map data

To keep the data current, ILRR updates every 30 minutes. Some details that don't change often are uploaded together regularly. It's free for people to use ILRR, but digital spatial information cannot be downloaded directly from it.

You can use the ILRR to:

  • Generate queries, maps and reports
  • Compare interests from different databases in one format
  • Check the current status of Crown and private land
  • Get email alerts for changes in specific areas
  • Support land use planning and treaty negotiations

Interest conflicts

The Province of British Columbia issues leases, licenses and permits that allow or limit various uses of Crown land and resources. Several activities may occur on the same land base, provided the purposes are compatible. This can become complex due to differences in resources, tenure terms and conditions, and changing land use expectations.

The ILRR can display conflicting interests to assist users in determining where and how much a specified area overlaps a selected interest. Users may generate a conflict report, constraint report or combined report with this information.
