Cadastre


Also referred to by the colloquial expression “registering a building,” cadastral operations consist in identifying and officializing the separation, expansion, or merging of properties by assigning each property a separate lot number. Its length, area, shape and position in relation to neighbouring properties are also represented. This renumbering is then registered in the Cadastre du Québec, the provincial land register, which legally protects property deeds and is used for property appraisals.

Paramount importance

A real estate transaction can only occur and be enforceable against third parties once the documents have been officially sent by the land surveyor to the land registry. Ecce Terra was instrumental in the creation of Quebec’s cadastral reform program, offering additional expertise in preparing and processing cadastral files.

Multiple applications

Cadastral operations have various applications, such as dividing a lot into multiple separate lots, converting a building into divided co-ownerships, or separating the land of a family residence from agricultural land following a compliance notice from the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec. It can also correct boundaries between neighbouring properties, or merge contiguous lots belonging to the same owner at the request of a municipality.
