Resident trappers are required to obtain the written permission of landowners upon whose land they wish to trap. The Landowner - Trapper Agreement form should be used by trappers to document written permission to trap on private land. This completed form may be requested by the ministry before the ministry will make any consideration of issuing a resident trapping licence to a person. Information submitted through this form may assist in assignment of harvest quotas for some species.

This form allows individuals or incorporated organizations the ability to apply to purchase (sale and Crown patent), or rent, or use Crown land in the form of the following occupational authority types: lease, easement, licence, or land use permit. The occupational authority is a legal agreement between the ministry and tenant, and outlines who can use the land and for how long, the rents and fees and any associated conditions. The ministry’s primary focus for the disposition of Crown land is to: support the social and economic development of municipalities and Indigenous communities, and to provide land for infrastructure, such as energy facilities, utilities, and services. Note that a specific form should be used for applications to purchase shoreline reserves or road allowances. The form may be accessed here: https://forms.mgcs.gov.on.ca/dataset/on00541
