Sample Laval Property History Report

What Makes a Laval Report Different

Laval covers all of Ile Jesus as one municipality, which is why reports include real parcel zoning rather than a plan-level land-use designation: the city publishes its complete form-based zoning framework, the Code de l’urbanisme type de milieu zones, as a single city-wide dataset with a citable bylaw grid for every zone. Permits are presented strictly as issuance records because the published permit dataset carries no status field, so completion-rate and open-item language is suppressed entirely rather than implying a lifecycle the city has not published. Permit fee amounts published alongside each permit are not declared construction values and are never shown as such. Assessed dollar values from the evaluation roll are never shown; only year built and property usage are surfaced, and where a matricule is shared by units recording different construction years the year built is reported as unconfirmed rather than guessed. Flood context comes from the Communaute metropolitaine de Montreal regulated floodplain mapping under RCI 2019-78. Land title, hydrant proximity, and sewer infrastructure type are not published for this market and those sections are suppressed rather than estimated.

Permit History in the Laval Example

The permit section lists every permit Ville de Laval publishes against the address. The Laval example carries 3: Transformation — Rénovation de la salle de bain (2023), Agrandissement — Ajout d’un garage attaché (2016), and Rénovation — Remplacement du revêtement de toiture (2004).

The City of Laval publishes permit issuance only, so every permit is labelled Issued and the report states directly that inspection and completion status is not published by the City.

Permit records come from Ville de Laval Open Data (Permis de construction), dataset donneesquebec.ca resource d4731ee2-b1e5-4a31-bc56-4e13115e74ef.

Renovation-heavy pockets like Chomedey and Sainte-Dorothee tend to produce the longest permit trails in Laval, while buyers looking at Chomedey, Sainte-Rose, Vimont, and Sainte-Dorothee are usually reading the record for work done before they arrived.

Zoning and Land Use in Laval

The Laval example is zoned T3.3 on a 511 m² lot.

Zoning in a Laval report is read against the Ville de Laval Code de l\u2019urbanisme (CDU-1), with a plain-language note on what the designation permits: single-detached use, secondary suite eligibility, duplex or multi-unit conversion, or mixed use. The report gives the designation and what the bylaw allows; it is not a zoning confirmation letter.

Flood Hazard Context in Laval

Laval occupies Île Jésus, bounded by the Rivière des Mille Îles to the north and the Rivière des Prairies to the south. Properties near either shoreline or in low-lying sectors may fall within Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) regulated flood zones under RCI 2019-78 (plus haute eau connue).

A Laval report sources this from Communaute metropolitaine de Montreal (RCI 2019-78) and reports the mapped classification for the address: it does not predict flooding, confirm insurability, or price a premium. To verify flood hazard boundaries for this property, consult Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal flood zone mapping and Ville de Laval directly.

Fire Protection Proximity in Laval

The Laval example sits 1.4 km from Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Fire Station. Distances are computed from Service de sécurité incendie de Laval (fire station locations).

Ville de Laval does not publish a hydrant layer the report can query, so Laval reports show fire station distance only and say so on the page. That distance is a physical measurement, not a response time commitment.

Assessment Context in Laval

Property characteristics in a Laval report (year built, lot size, and property type) come from Ville de Laval role d'evaluation fonciere.

Assessed dollar values are not shown for Laval, in line with Quebec's Règlement sur le rôle d'évaluation foncière. Only year built and property usage are surfaced from the roll.

In Laval, the roll is joined to the property by its matricule together with the civic number, never the matricule alone. Where a building's units share a matricule but record different construction years, the report states that year built could not be confirmed for the unit rather than showing a neighbouring unit's year.

Sale prices stay out of scope in every market, because historical residential sale prices are not public record in most Canadian provinces.

Radon Potential for Laval

Laval falls in the Quebec (Montréal Metro Area) region of the 2024 Cross-Canada Radon Survey. 1 in 5 residential properties in the Montréal Metro Area tested at or above 200 Bq/m³, the Health Canada action guideline.

This is regional prevalence, not a measurement of the property. Only a long-term test on the specific home establishes its radon level.

What Turns Up in Laval Records

• Laval building permits are issuance records published through Donnees Quebec, so reports show that a permit was issued without an open or closed lifecycle status. The city does not publish a permit status field at all.
• Year built and property usage come from the municipal assessment roll, joined to the property through the parcel matricule together with the civic number, so a unit is never matched on matricule alone.
• Unlike Montreal, Laval is a single unified municipality with no boroughs, so parcel zoning is city-wide and reports carry the applicable type de milieu zone and a link to the corresponding bylaw grid.

Laval Coverage

The same report is available for any residential address in Laval, including Chomedey, Sainte-Dorothee, Laval-des-Rapides, Pont-Viau, Vimont, Auteuil, Sainte-Rose, Fabreville, Laval-Ouest, Saint-Francois, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, and Duvernay.

Laval Sample Report FAQ

What does the sample Laval report show?

It renders the full report layout against a fabricated Laval address: a residential property built in 1978 with 3 permits on file. A Laval report covers permit history, zoning, flood hazard context, fire protection proximity, assessment context, and radon potential. The address and the figures in the example are invented; the sources, the sections, and the coverage limits are the real ones.

Where does the Laval permit data come from?

Ville de Laval Open Data (Permis de construction), dataset donneesquebec.ca resource d4731ee2-b1e5-4a31-bc56-4e13115e74ef. The City of Laval publishes permit issuance only, so every permit is labelled Issued and the report states directly that inspection and completion status is not published by the City.

Which zoning bylaw does a Laval report use?

Zoning is reported against the Ville de Laval Code de l\u2019urbanisme (CDU-1). The example property is zoned T3.3. The report gives the designation and a plain-language note on what it permits; it is not a zoning confirmation letter.

Properties near either shoreline or in low-lying sectors may fall within Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) regulated flood zones under RCI 2019-78 (plus haute eau connue).
