Search by Ownership
You can use the ownership search option if you know either the owner name, owner ID, block name, block ID, block
district, ownership category, ownership type, or a combination of the options.
If you know that Christopher's block is, for example, Ruamata , but aren’t sure how his name is spelt, you can enter Christoper Crbb into the Owner Name search field and Ruamata into the Land Block Name search field to narrow the results.
