Since the mid-19^th century, the State has submitted all the real property transactions conducted in Québec in the various registers that make up the Land register of Québec.

According to the land registration system, all real property transactions become public upon registration in the Land register of Québec. Thus, since it is a public register, all citizens can access it and trace the history of transactions made on a lot since its creation.

A large part of the land information that is currently available in the registry offices is available on the on-line Land register of Québec site.
