What is an RPR (Real Property Report)?

An RPR is a legal document prepared by an Alberta Land Surveyor. It shows the location of all visible improvements (like your home, garage, deck, and fences) relative to property boundaries and municipal bylaws. It includes a detailed plan and a written statement from the surveyor.

Do I need an RPR when selling my home in Calgary?

Most real estate transactions in Alberta require an up-to-date RPR with a Municipal Compliance Stamp. This confirms your property meets local bylaws and avoids legal or financial issues during closing.

How long does it take to get an RPR completed?

The survey and drafting process usually takes 1–2 weeks. If municipal compliance review is needed, allow an additional 1–2 weeks. Start early to prevent delays in closing.

Can Arc Surveys update an existing RPR?

Yes. (only if your original RPR is from Arc Surveys) If you’ve made changes to your property (like adding a deck, garage, or fence), Arc Surveys can update your RPR to reflect the current state and submit it for compliance if needed.
