Land Cadastre is a systematized state registration of land plots, which contains data on the size, boundaries, location and legal status of land objects. The land cadastre is the most important instrument for regulating land relations. Its main tasks include collecting, storing and regularly updating data on plots to control the use of land resources.

Structure and elements of the land cadastre:

  • Cadastral units. Each land parcel is registered as a separate cadastral unit and receives a unique cadastral number. This number allows you to identify the parcel and manage information about its characteristics and legal status.
  • Cadastral records. Records include basic information about a land parcel, such as its area, location, purpose and legal status. They are stored in electronic and paper cadastral databases and are open for use by government agencies and owners.
  • Maps and plans. The land cadastre contains cadastral maps that show the boundaries and locations of land parcels, allowing you to visually determine the location of the parcel and its boundaries.

Functions of the land cadastre:

  • To protect property and rights. The land registry allows you to establish and protect rights to land plots. Information about the property rights and boundaries of the plot helps prevent land disputes and simplifies real estate transactions.
  • For taxation. The land cadastre is used to calculate land tax, where the main parameters are the area of ​​the plot and its cadastral value.
  • For state planning. The land cadastre serves as a tool for planning and regulating land use. It allows for the analysis of land use, making informed decisions on the allocation of land for residential, industrial or agricultural development.

To register a land plot in the cadastral register, it is necessary to conduct geodetic work to determine the exact dimensions of the plot. After this, the plot is assigned a unique cadastral number and information about it is entered into the cadastral database. The data is updated periodically, especially if the boundaries of the plot, its purpose or ownership change.
