Registering with APIC & Requesting Your Tax Certificate
- Visit APIC at www.apicanada.com
- Register for a free APIC account, or sign in if you already have one
- Select Services > TCOL
- Search using the property’s PID, or select Alternate Search to find by PID, roll number or mobile home registry number
- Authorize the purchase and complete payment by credit card
- Once
processed, your tax certificate will be available in your APIC account and

Searching for a Property
For most properties in British Columbia, the easiest option
is the PID Search. If the property is newly created, recently
subdivided, or the PID search does not work, use the Alternate Search
option and select the appropriate tax authority.
After You Order
Once your order has been processed, you will receive an
email notification with your completed tax certificate attached. You can also
log in to your APIC account to view your purchase history, download your tax
certificate, and access your receipt.
