How It Works

Understanding Ontario's Township System

Ontario uses a unique Geographic Township system dating back to colonial times.

Ontario Land Hierarchy

Unlike Western Canada's grid-based DLS system, Ontario uses named Geographic Townships with numbered Concessions and Lots:

TownshipNamed geographic area (e.g., Osprey, Amaranth, King)
ConcessionStrip of land within a township (numbered)
LotIndividual parcel within a concession (numbered)

About Concessions

A Concession is a strip of land within a township, typically 1.25 miles wide. Concessions were historically granted by the Crown and are numbered sequentially within each township. Lot sizes vary but are typically 100-200 acres in rural areas.
