An agent is assisting a client with purchasing a property in a new subdivision. The area manager for the developer informs the agent that all properties in the subdivision are subject to a restrictive covenant limiting exterior building materials to stone, brick, or stucco. Where would a buyer typically find the official record of this restrictive covenant?

Question: An agent is assisting a client with purchasing a property in a new subdivision. The area manager for the developer informs the agent that all properties in the subdivision are subject to a restrictive covenant limiting exterior building materials to stone, brick, or stucco. Where would a buyer typically find the official record of this restrictive covenant?

Answer options: ✅ Registered on the title of the property at the Land Titles Office.

• In the municipal zoning bylaws for the subdivision.
• On the developer's website in the community design guidelines.
• Included in the original building permit application.

Correct answer: Registered on the title of the property at the Land Titles Office.

Explanation: For a restrictive covenant to be legally binding and 'run with the land' in Alberta, it must be registered on the certificate of title for the property at the Land Titles Office. This ensures that future purchasers have notice of the limitation on their use of the land.
