What does The Real Property Act govern in Manitoba?

• A. Titles and record of ownership interests
• B. Zoning and land use
• C. Building inspections
• D. Property tax collection

Answer: (A)

The Real Property Act governs the land titles system in Manitoba, focusing on the registration of land ownership and related interests. It provides the framework for recording who owns a parcel of land and any encumbrances or interests on that land, such as mortgages or liens, and it determines how transfers of title are processed and recorded. This registry creates an official record that evidences ownership and protects the priority of interests as they are registered.

Zoning and land use are controlled by municipal planning and provincial planning policies, not this act. Building inspections fall under building codes and related enforcement, not the Real Property Act. Property tax collection is handled through assessment and taxation processes separate from the land titles registry.
