Notify owners of expropriation without retyping authority and parcel details

Expropriating authorities serving notice of expropriation repeat authority identity, land descriptions, and registered owner names and addresses on every Expropriations Act Form 7 notice. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Expropriations Act — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Form 7 – Notice of Expropriation — 004-0409

What this form is about

Form 004-0409 is Form 7 — Notice of Expropriation under the Expropriations Act, used when an authority proceeds to expropriate approved land — confirm service and registration rules on ontario.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Expropriating authority name and contact details.
• Land parcel description and registry office reference.
