The Office of the Registrar General is managing the concession to ensure integrity, security, performance and availability of the NSW land titles system through a range of oversights, rules and directions, quality assurance and strong engagement with stakeholders.
We are responsible for the policy and legislative framework that supports the registration of land titles, dealings with land, conveyancing and property development in NSW.
Under the Torrens title system, land title is guaranteed by the State Government. In effect, the State Government promises that the registered land owners recorded in the NSW land title system are the true owners of their land.
The Office of the Registrar General is responsible for undertaking boundary determinations when there is a dispute and undertaking audits of registered survey plans. In addition, we provide regulatory oversight for transitioning from paper to digital survey plans.
