Abstract
This Law sets out the legislative framework governing the setting up, management and functioning of the land cadastre, a comprehensive registry capturing the physical, legal, and economic attributes of immovable properties. Local governments play a central role in its administration, maintenance and veracity.
The law prescribes precise criteria and methodologies for ascertaining the cadastral value of immovable properties, grounded in market valuations and the application of valuation tables. Furthermore, the legal framework governs the cartography of the cadastre, encapsulating the creation of maps and graphical representations, which delineate property sizes, shapes, locations, and provide geographical details, including territorial boundaries.
It delineates the regulations for accessing, sharing, and disseminating cadastral information, consistently upholding data protection principles and allowing public access to data that does not necessitate protection. Lastly, the legislation fosters collaboration and information exchange amongst local governments, government bodies, notaries, as well as other public or private entities that possess a vested interest or impact on the cadastral data, facilitating the efficient operation and utilization of this vital registry.
