PERSONAL PROPERTY REGISTRY

Personal property refers to items such as motor vehicles, boats, boat motors, trailers, equipment, air planes, mobile homes.

Liens can be registered in the Personal Property system that relate to security interests in these items, or writs of enforcement issued by the courts. These are typically registered within the Province, but we have the ability to register in other provinces as well.

To do a registration, please fill out the appropriate form attend our office in person.

• Mobile Homes (this searches liens only, there is no ownership registration in Alberta)

Searches can be done on Individuals or Businesses to see if there is a lien or writ registered against them. This may be useful if you plan to do business with the company or person or if you are owed money and you want to see if there are registered interests already against that individual or business.

This database only contains information on items/people/business that do have liens/writs registered against them. Therefore if there is no lien, your search will say “nothing found”.

Personal property searches can be made in office or through our online services.  For faster searches sent direct to you, try our new self-serve option.
