Transparency Is Here: How LOTA Will Alter B.C. Real Estate

The B.C. Land Owner Transparency Act (LOTA) is coming into force at the end of this month. Effective November 30, 2020, all acquisitions of land will be subject to the new disclosure rules under LOTA, while existing owners of land will have until November 30, 2021, to become compliant.

Please join the Blakes Vancouver Commercial Real Estate team as we discuss the implementation of LOTA and how it will impact your business moving forward.
