The GTA Residential Land Inventory Survey gathers information on the number of current applications to develop residential lots by house type for each municipality across the area. The information is based on municipal records as of January 1 each year and is a collaborative effort between the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the province, the Urban Development Institute, PMA Brethour Research, and GTA municipalities. Annual surveys have been conducted since 1994.
The housing policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) require that municipalities maintain at least a three-year supply of serviced land for new residential development in draft approved or registered plans. The survey shows how demand factors have an impact on lot inventories and provides a regional monitoring system on the current state of land supply in each municipality which is then aggregated for the GTA.
