Council owned land and premises
Service outline:
How can I find out if a piece of land belongs to the council?
If you have a piece of land you want to check if the council owns please contact us using the details below.
We would need to know as much information about the location in order to be able to help you. This would include full postal address if known, or boudaries of land. This is particularly important in rural locations.

The searches may take several days depending on the demand for the service.
