Cadastral number

Each property (or lot) in Quebec has a cadastral number (numéro de lot). This is a unique number that identifies the property. For instance, below you can see a section of Montreal and the lot numbers for the properties in that area. Each of these numbers is a cadastral number.

Example of Quebec Cadastral Numbers
Cadastral numbers in Quebec are used to uniquely identify each parcel of land. This graphic is taken from the interactive map on the Quebec Land Register (Registre foncier du Québec).

If you know the cadastral number for a property, you can use it to look up information about the property such as ownership history, mortgages or liens, and legal charges or easements in the Quebec Land Register.
