The Quebec Land Registry is the public registry of rights on immovable property: sales, immovable hypothecs, servitudes, co-ownership declarations, discharges, radiations. Unlike RDPRM (movable property), it is organized by lot number.
The Land Registry contains every acte affecting an immovable in Quebec since its creation. It is governed by book nine of the Civil Code of Quebec (articles 2934 to 3075) and administered by the Ministère de l'Énergie et des Ressources naturelles.
Searches are keyed on the property's cadastral lot number. The result is a title chain: the chronological sequence of sales, hypothecs, servitudes, and other actes registered against that lot. This chain is essential for notaries at real-estate closings and for lawyers performing diligence.
Reading a Registre foncier extract is meticulous work: identifying relevant actes, linking hypothecs to sales, cataloging active servitudes, tracking radiations. Tablix Foncier (in development) will automate this extraction the way Tablix RDPRM does for movable property.
