E-File

Welcome to the e-file portal, an Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) service that enables you to prepare and manage your appeals online.

E-file allows you to:

  • File on your own behalf or the behalf of someone else (for example, a family
    member, a business or organization, or a client)
  • File multiple related appeals
  • Upload required documentation
  • Pay filing fees online
  • Print or save a PDF of your completed application

IMPORTANT: Where to file your appeal

In most cases, you should not select the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) as your approval authority that you want to file your appeal with. Appeals are usually filed with your municipal clerk/secretary-treasurer or other approval authority first. Check your notice of decision or applicable legislation to verify where your appeal should go.

If the notice or legislation requires you to file with a municipality/approval authority not listed below, you cannnot file your appeal through e-file. Instead, use the A1 Appeal Form. and submit the form by email, mail, courier or in person to the approval authority.

How to e-file

Currently, e-file only allows you to digitally submit an appeal with registered approval authorities. Use the search function or browse through the table below to check if your approval authority is registered (change entry number to expand list of entries visible or click Next).
