Vacation Lot Leases

In June 2014, the MRC Pontiac signed an agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife (MRNF) conferring the management of vacation leases on public lands. This new responsibility increases the MRC’s autonomy in regional development, and provides citizens with a single-point of service. In addition, 50% of revenues from public lands leases comes back to the MRC.Aside from the organization that enforces them, the operating rules for the occupation of public lands remain unchanged.

Land Management

In terms of land management, the powers and responsibilities delegated to the MRC include the following:

  • Vacation lease management, which allows citizens to rent land on public land to build a cottage;
  • The sale of land for vacation purposes;
  • Lot availability;
  • Camping management;
  • Control over land use by inspecting granted rights, monitoring the territory and tracking squatters.

This delegation of powers does not include the management of trapping territories and permits. Therefore, citizens that are affected must contact the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP).


Frequently Asked Questions

Q : How can I obtain a lease on public lands?

Once again this year, the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles will offer the population the opportunity to participate in a draw for the allocation of vacation lots located on Crown land, in collaboration with the delegated RCMs and the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (SÉPAQ). The registration period for the draw will run from September 18 to October 24, 2021.

Q : I hold a vacation lot lease and would like to do work on the property. Are there rules to follow?

The non-organized (TNO) Lac Nilgaut territory is governed by planning regulations. Citizens or users of this territory  must abide by this regulation. Also, a permit or certificate may be required depending on the type of work. Permits and certificates are issued by the MRC’s Regional Inspector – TNO and Environment, Richard Marenger. You can contact him by phone at 819-648-5689 ext. 237, or by email.

The complete Lac Nilgaut Planning Bylaws brochure is available in this site’s Document Centre.
