What about people without Internet access?
They may choose to hire a qualified supplier who can submit the forms that are not accepted at the Manufactured Home Registry.
Which transactions are available right away?
The first release of MH Online includes the following electronic transactions:
- searches;
- some transport permits;
- new home registrations;
- transfers; and
- residential exemptions.
What is the best way to submit forms?
The best way is to file a form electronically. Paper forms are only available if the service has not been made available online. Some exceptions may apply.
Fees can be viewed here. In addition, there is a BC OnLine surcharge of $1.50 plus HST.
Clients logging on with their BC OnLine account will pay through their deposit account. In the future, it may be possible for clients to pay by credit card.
Will I need to go through a lawyer or registry agent?
Existing BC OnLine customers may submit some transactions through BC OnLine, including searches and transport permits that do not require a tax certificate.
Otherwise you may choose to use:
- a "qualified supplier" who has signed up and been approved by the Registrar, who may submit some forms electronically on your behalf for a fee; or
- a government agent, for some transactions.
If legal assistance is required for preparing forms, individuals should consult a lawyer.
What are the minimum system requirements?
Please see the information on hardware and software requirements at BC OnLine, or on their FAQ section here.
What security is there for my filing?
Security components for MH Online are provided through the BC OnLine system.
For more information, see BC OnLine's security information.
How many manufactured homes are there in BC?
There are currently about 67,600 registered homes in British Columbia, and about 20,300 exempt homes, for a total of about 87,900 homes.
