Cadastral Description

A cadastral description is a textual description of a property in the Quebec land register. It includes details like lot boundaries, dimensions, survey references, and parcel location. The purpose of the cadastral description is to legally identify the property in words. This is so that anyone reading the land registry can know exactly which property is being referred to.

Each cadastral description also has a cadastral number (sometimes called a “lot number”). This is a unique numerical identifier assigned to a parcel of land in the land registry.
