Essential Role of Property Reference Plans in Land Modifications

Major projects often necessitate land reconfiguration, including new easements, rights-of-way, or land severances. Property reference plans are crucial in illustrating these changes for municipal review. Deposited in the local Land Registry Office, these plans graphically represent land descriptions and divisions under the Planning Act. They detail surveyed boundaries, dimensions, and relevant physical features—such as fences and overhead wires—that may impact property titles, ensuring all modifications comply with local regulations.
