Question: A land surveyor is tasked with creating a new cadastral plan for a land subdivision in rural Québec. Which administrative division is primarily responsible for maintaining the records of these cadastral plans and related rights?

Answer options: ✅ The registration division where the immovable is situated.

• The municipal planning department of the local municipality.
• The provincial Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests.
• The local land assessment office.

Correct answer: The registration division where the immovable is situated.

Explanation: Cadastral plans and all acts affecting property rights are published and maintained in the Quebec Land Register, which is organized by registration division (circonscription foncière). Each immovable is located within a specific registration division, as stipulated by the Civil Code of Québec (Article 2977 for the Land Register generally, implying the division's role in maintaining records specific to its territory).
