Owners of classified buildings that are recognized as cultural property or located on a historic site, in the Mount Royal Historic and Natural District or in the Old Montreal historical district, must obtain authorization from the ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition feminine before carrying out alterations.
Owners who wish to modify the exterior of a designated monument or an immovable that is part of a heritage site must comply with the conditions applicable to the preservation of the specific elements of the building, as well as with the municipal by-laws. They must also first apply for a permit from the city.
These heritage buildings may benefit from financial assistance under a joint program of the city of Montreal, the ministère de la Culture, , des Communications et de la Condition feminine and the Société d’habitation du Québec. The by-laws concerning subsidies for the restoration and renovation of heritage buildings and for archaeological excavations was adopted for this purpose.
