Compliances
A Real Property Report is necessary to determine compliance with municipal bylaws. A municipality reviews and endorses the Real Property Report and indicates if the improvements meet the requirements of the local bylaws. The property owner can then resolve any outstanding issues identified by the municipality. Early preparation of a Real Property Report and inquiring on any projects without permits significantly speeds up the process of selling a property. Our office requires four originals signed and stamped by the surveyor and a fee of $75.00.
