Alberta Permit Pro continues to strive to provide the most comprehensive information database to our municipal partners. The most effective and easiest way to view all permit and inspection information is through a GIS map. Now that we have incorporated LINC numbers into our database for all properties, we are able to easily match the information from our database to any internal database or GIS mapping system.

A LINC (Land Identification Numeric Code) number is a unique identifier assigned by Land Titles of Alberta to every parcel of land. Land Titles sets and stores this number which remains unchanged until the parcel boundaries are changed (subdividing), and such a time a new LINC number is assigned to the new parcels of land.

Because we are the only agency that uses LINC numbers, we are the only agency can guarantee 100% accuracy between our addressing and that stored within Land Titles of Alberta. Having this identifier coupled with Shelbra International's completely electronic tracking system; Permit Tracker, gives us the ability to provide a number of automated information transfer services that no other agencies can provide:

• Permit and Inspection status and updates directly updated and easily viewable on a GIS Mapping system
• Permit and Inspection status and updates easily able to be imported into an existing internal database, creating one master database for the municipality
• Information that will require ZERO human labor to match to current internal records with 100% accuracy
• A unique identifier to link all permits to a location (Linc number), thus easily automating Occupancy Certificates
