Who Is Affected by the November 30, 2021 LOTR Filing Deadline?

By November 30, 2021, a transparency report is required to be filed by a legal professional to the Land Owner Transparency Registry (LOTR) for land owned by reporting bodies prior to November 30, 2020. Reporting bodies are relevant corporations, partnerships or trusts with a registered interest in land as defined in the Land Owner Transparency Act (LOTA).

Only a transparency report is required for existing reporting bodies with an interest in land; a transparency declaration is not required unless ownership of the land is being transferred.
