Lease and purchase public land
Vacation lot random draw
You can obtain a vacation lot on public land by participating in the annual random draw conducted by the Gouvernement du Québec, in collaboration with the delegated MRCs and the Sépaq.
Available lots
The lots offered by random draw each cover an average area of 4,000 m2 and are wooded, waterfront or semi-waterfront, and accessible by land. Participants may only lease a single lot allocated by random draw per year.
The list of lots will be available from September 30, 2026.
Entry for draw
The next random draw registration period will begin September 30, 2026.
To take part in a random draw, you must:
- Be 18 or older years of age or older as of November 1st, 2026;
- Fill out a
registration form on the Sépaq website. You may also register by calling 1 800 665‑6527. Only one registration is allowed per draw code; - Pay the non-refundable registration fee of $37.94 ($33 + GST and QST) per draw code.
Random draw procedure
The Sépaq conducts the random draw electronically in the days following the end of the registration period, under an external auditor's supervision.
Each participant will receive an email indicating their rank within 48 hours of the draw. This rank determines the order of land allotment for the next step.
Allotment
The MRCs conduct the allotment by invitation, in the order of the draw results. The number of participants likely to receive land is determined by the number of available lots. A letter or email of invitation will be sent to the selected participants informing them of the location and date of the allotment. Attendance of participants is required for the allotment of lots.
The government reserves the right to remove any lot from the random draw up to the time of the allotment.
