Legal Desciption of Property & PIN


















The legal description of property
is the description recognized by law
that is sufficient to locate and
identify property. The legal
description is not the address of the
building. The address of a property
may change but the legal description
usually will not. The government
will always know where it will be
collecting its taxes. So it has to
know where to find our property
regardless of an address change on
the property. The legal description
ensures that an address change on a
property won't lose or hide a property
from the government.

Legal description can be found on
the deed, city tax assessment and also
the Agreement of Purchase and Sale.
The legal description of my property,
2925 Riverside Drive East is,
PT LT 99 CON 1
SANDWICH EAST
PTS 1, 3, 4
12R11736, S/T
R1459252,WINDSOR

The Property Identification
Number (PIN) is a unique
number assigned to every
parcel of land in Ontario. The
PIN will identify the owner (s)
of a property and other info.
via title search and other land
related searches. The 'active'
PIN for my property is, 01090-
0222 (LR).

The legal description for
EWCC/EWCP's property, 2929
Riverside Drive East is
PT LT 99 CON 1
SANDWICH EAST
PT 2,
12R11736; T/W
R1189505;
WINDSOR.
The'active' PIN is,
01090-0221(LR)

The legal description & PIN shows
that the semi-detached properties
are different lots.

I was told that all the properties
had been purchased by EWCC/EWCP.
But now I am not so certain of
that. My other Riverside Drive
neighbour may not have sold or have
but haven't moved yet. The family
is still there.

Enwin Utilities was by this morning
to shut off the power at the house
behind me, 220 Cadillac Street. It's
the last house on Cadillac Street to
be demolished.

Oh by the way, my property taxes are
paid weekly.
