Alberta Surface Rights
Record Check

If a company has wells on your land, you can see whether other landowners have taken them to the Land and Property Rights Tribunal — and what for. Type the company name from your lease.

If you are not being paid

Alberta's Surface Rights Act has a process for this. Under section 36, a landowner who has not been paid the compensation owed under a surface lease can apply to the Land and Property Rights Tribunal. The Tribunal can direct that the amount owing be paid out of provincial funds, and the Province then recovers it from the operator. It can also suspend the operator's right of entry to the land.

Start with the Tribunal directly at alberta.ca/land-property-rights-tribunal, or call the Farmers' Advocate Office at 780-427-2433 — they help Alberta landowners with exactly this and it costs nothing.

Where this comes from

Every result is a decision published by the Land and Property Rights Tribunal on CanLII, covering June 2021 to the present. We count and sort them; we don't interpret them. The names of landowners who brought applications are not shown here — those stay in the tribunal's own published decisions.

A company with no results is not necessarily a company with no history. It means no matching decision appears in this record.
