Agricultural zone transposed to the Quebec Cadastre

Undertaken several years ago, cadastral renovation now covers a large part of agricultural land. The impact on the Commission's operations is growing, as is for all stakeholders in the field of land management.

In order to improve its services, the Commission, in collaboration with the MRCs, has undertaken a project to transpose the boundaries of the agricultural zone to the Quebec Cadastre. The exercise consists essentially in establishing the correspondence between the base of the agricultural zone, i.e. the cadastral compilation at 1:20,000, and the renovated cadastre. The project is not an opportunity to review the boundaries of the agricultural zone on merit.

This digital version illustrates to the best of our knowledge the agricultural zone with reference to the Cadastre of Quebec. Although 1:20,000 plans remain the official source for now, the transposed limit is integrated into our geomatic systems and used in the course of our operations. This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
