The point is not just more data. It is knowing what to look at next.
A Passport does not treat every result as equally certain. It separates source-backed findings, results requiring further investigation and information that could not be reliably verified instead of converting uncertainty into a false “clear.”
Green
No issue identified in the specific source checked. This is not a guarantee or clearance.
Yellow
Further investigation or confirmation is recommended.
Red
An explicit source-backed material condition warrants priority attention. Red does not mean you should not buy the property. Investigate the specific finding, confirm its implications and consider it in your due diligence; it is not a purchase recommendation.
Neutral
Information could not be reliably verified or the available source coverage is insufficient.
Useful before you rely on assumptions
The Passport can be useful when researching a property before an offer, reviewing a property you already own, considering renovations or development, or identifying questions to raise with a REALTOR®, lawyer, the City of St. Catharines, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority or another appropriate professional or authority.
What the Passport does not do
The Property Passport is an information-screening product. It is not legal advice, engineering advice, environmental assessment, zoning confirmation, title opinion, permit clearance or regulatory clearance. Published datasets can be incomplete, historical coverage varies, and mapped boundaries may require property-specific confirmation. A no-record result does not necessarily mean that no record, restriction or requirement exists.
Built around traceable sources and visible limitations
The St. Catharines report identifies source context and explains important limitations. Current screening draws on City of St. Catharines municipal property, zoning, land-use, heritage and building-permit information, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority mapping, and Government of Ontario Niagara Escarpment Plan mapping. When OHI cannot reliably establish a property-level conclusion, the result is kept Neutral rather than presented as a clear result.
