MPAC propertyline Update
On May 6, RAHB sent a message to all members via email about changes to how members access MPAC’s propertyline reports.
We have received the following update from GeoWarehouse.
Previously, MPAC had provided all GeoWarehouse users 50 free reports per month of their Basic REB report. This was provided as a courtesy, but was not a contractual obligation by either MPAC or Teranet.
What has changed?
MPAC launched a new version of propertyline, and decided to discontinue access through GeoWarehouse, which Teranet complied with. Because of this, GeoWarehouse users who wish to continue to use propertyline must create a new account through propertyline.
Will members still be able to get 50 free reports per month?
No, MPAC is no longer offering 50 free Basic REB reports per month to REB GeoWarehouse users. These reports must now be purchased.
Do you need to log into propertyline to get MPAC assessment information?
No. Much of the assessment information contained in the Basic REB report is still available at no additional charge as part of your GeoWarehouse subscription. Users can find the information on CVA, frontage, depth, property type and description within the assessment information section of the Property Details report. If data is not available for a property within the Property Details report, try right-clicking on the property in the map and selecting “Assessment Information”. A purple icon will appear which provides the assessment data by placing your mouse over the icon. To purchase additional assessment data through the GeoWarehouse Store, including the Basic REB Report and other MPAC propertyline reports, right-click and select “Purchase Assessment Information”, or select “Assessment Reports” in the assessment information section of the Property Details report.
What did the Basic REB Report give you that is different from your GeoWarehouse subscription?
The Basic REB report carried the assessment version of the address and the legal description. The assessment legal description is an abbreviated location identifier (e.g., Lot 4, Plan MM1234), but does not contain many qualifiers (“subject to…”) such as easements that are considered important disclosures on documents like the agreement of purchase and sale. The full legal description can be found within the GeoWarehouse Property Details Report.
