A Building Location Certificate consists of which components?

• A. The certification
• B. The survey
• C. Both the certification and the survey
• D. Neither

Answer: (C)

A Building Location Certificate combines two essential parts: the survey and the certification. The survey is the drawn plan that shows the building’s exact footprint on the property, its distances to lot lines, and any encroachments or easements. The certification is the formal statement by a licensed Manitoba Land Surveyor that this plan accurately represents the real location on the property and that it complies with relevant setbacks and boundaries. Both pieces are needed because the survey provides the spatial details, while the certification verifies the accuracy and legal compliance of those details. That’s why the Building Location Certificate consists of both elements.
