Land Titles
A land title is an official record of who owns a piece of land. It can also include information about mortgages, covenants, caveats and easements. Victoria’s land titles are held in the state’s online land titles register, managed by the Registrar of Titles using the Torrens system.
Before the Torrens system was introduced in 1862, a General Law system operated in Victoria.
