Our Expertise in Agricultural Zones
Projects in agricultural zones require strong expertise, thorough analysis, and a well-adapted approach with the CPTAQ (Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec). As licensed land surveyors, we support you at every stage of your project, from field measurements to the preparation and submission of your application file.
Whether you need to establish acquired rights for residential or commercial use, sever a residence from farmland for a real estate transaction, build a home in an agricultural zone, complete an agricultural project, or present a case to the CPTAQ, we leverage our extensive experience in agricultural files to provide comprehensive, precise, and tailored support.
Our role is to help you clearly understand your project’s possibilities, choose the right strategy, and prepare a strong, well-structured application. With our in-depth knowledge of local conditions, regulatory frameworks, and CPTAQ requirements, we offer a complete, turnkey service that is clear, structured, and reassuring.
Specialized Services for Agricultural Land
We support property owners, farmers, and agricultural stakeholders in a wide range of mandates :
- Certificates of location for farms and agricultural buildings
- Cadastral operations for land subdivision or consolidation
- Building layout for agricultural structures (barns, greenhouses, silos, hangars)
- Staking and boundary marking of property lines
Each intervention is carried out in compliance with the Act respecting the protection of agricultural land and agricultural activities (LPTAA), municipal regulations, and the realities of agricultural operations.
Essential Support for Your Projects
Projects in agricultural zones often involve processes with the CPTAQ, municipalities, or financial institutions. A land surveyor plays a key role in :
- analyzing project compliance with agricultural zoning regulations;
- performing field measurements and validations;
- preparing plans and required documents for the CPTAQ;
- submitting declarations of rights or authorization requests to the CPTAQ;
- providing ongoing support throughout the process.
Professional expertise helps prevent delays, administrative refusals, or costly legal disputes.
