§ IITARIFF OF FEES–REGISTER OF PERSONAL AND MOVABLE REAL RIGHTSProvision

Source excerpt

Registration and renewal fees are set by registration length, with additional rules for multiple-right renewals, searches, certified copies, rounding, and publication of adjustments by the Minister.

(1) $41 for one year or less of registration; (2) $45 for more than one year and up to two years of registration; (3) $48 for more than two years and up to three years of registration; (4) $51 for more than three years and up to four years of registration; and (5) $57 for more than four years of registration. The fees for the renewal of the registration of a right are the same as above. However, if the application is for the renewal of the registration of two or more rights, the applicable fee is increased by $5 per year or fraction of a year, up to a maximum of five years of registration, multiplied by the number of additional registrations listed by number under the heading “Reference to registration in the register of personal and movable real rights” on the form. (1) a judgment notified by the court clerk under article 456 of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25.01); (2) a marriage contract under article 442 of the Civil Code; (3) a correction with regard to the rights referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2; or (4) a cancellation or reduction of a registration. (1) $18 per name for a given date of birth if the statement is made under the name of a natural person; (2) $18 per name if the statement is made under a name other than that of a natural person; and (3) $18 per identification number if the statement is made under the identification number of a road vehicle. This fee is doubled for a copy or extract certified by the registrar. The fee for searching by notice of address number in the list of addresses is $5 per number. Adjusted amounts are rounded down to the nearest dollar if they include a dollar fraction that is less than $0.50, or up to the nearest dollar if they include a dollar fraction that is equal to or greater than $0.50. The application of this rounding rule may not operate to decrease a fee to below its pre-adjustment level. If an adjusted amount cannot be rounded up to the nearest dollar, the annual adjustments are deferred and accumulated until the fee payable includes a dollar fraction that is equal to or greater than $0.50. The Minister publishes the results of the adjustment in the Gazette officielle du Québec. 2011, c. 18, s. 63; I.N. 2016-01-01 (NCCP). See notice of indexation; (2026) 158 G.O. 1, 46.
