Troubleshooting Title and Parcel Searches

If you are having trouble locating a title (NZ) or parcel (AU), try the following:

  1. Check Formatting: Ensure the title/parcel is entered in the correct format for your region.

  2. Use Variations: Some formats allow for different spacing and ordering. Try alternative inputs based on the formats listed above.

  3. Verify Layers Are Enabled: Ensure the Parcel (AU) or Title (NZ) layer is active in your DAS interface.

  4. Check for Historical Status: Some parcels may be classified as significant urban or historical and may not be available in the active dataset.

  5. Contact Support: If you're still experiencing issues, use the chat function in DAS to get assistance. Provide the title/parcel number, property address, and screenshots if possible.

By following these steps, you can quickly and effectively search for property titles and parcels across Australia and New Zealand within DAS.
