Publish notice of grounds for expropriation without retyping authority and landowner details

Expropriating authorities giving notice of grounds under the Expropriations Act repeat authority identity, affected owner names and addresses, and land descriptions on every Form 4 notice of grounds. 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 4 – Notice of Grounds — 004-0414

What this form is about
