This article describes cadastral and registry reforms announced at the time of publication. It is historical context, not confirmation of the procedure currently in force.
The stated aims of the reform included:
- closer coordination between cadastral and property data to reduce inconsistencies;
- wider cadastral coverage;
- simpler access to cadastral documents and services used in property transactions.
Coordination of cadastral data
The Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Agency was assigned responsibilities for cadastral maps and registers.
The reforms also aimed to streamline changes to cadastral maps and expand territorial coverage. Buyers should check whether the specific property is covered and whether its current cadastral data matches the title documents.
A past coverage target is not proof that every property now has complete or error-free cadastral data.
Identifiers for properties
Land parcels, buildings and individual units may carry cadastral identifiers used to distinguish them in official records.
Temporary identifiers can appear during amendment procedures. Their meaning and status should be confirmed with the competent office or a qualified specialist.
Digital access to documents
The reform also aimed to make more cadastral information and services available online. Access to a property's recorded history depends on the current system, user permissions and the records available for that property. Fees and delivery channels should be checked on the official agency website.
Do not assume that every certificate can be obtained from any regional office. Confirm the current service, office, fee and required identification before relying on the procedure.
