Notarial act en minute prepared by a land surveyor for the benefit of an owner or of his hypothecary creditor. The certificate of location includes a written report and a location plan. This report states the professional opinion the land surveyor on the situation and the present condition of an immovable ( land and building(s) erected thereon) concerning its state of conformity or non-conformity relative to property titles, to the cadastre and also to various regulations and laws that may affect it. The certificates of location of the building, if available, must be deposited in the register of the co-ownership. These must be made available to any co-owner who requests them.
WARNING! The certificate of location must not be confused with the cadastral plan, which is a public document, also prepared by a land surveyor, but who has as its object the representation, on a plan, of the land properties of Quebec.
