Cadastral data includes relevant information on the ownership of real estate such as location, surface area, use and destination, ownership, cadastral value, among others.

In addition, the Cadastre is a fundamental entity for the management of taxes and fees, since it is used to determine the taxable base of some taxes. For example, the Real Estate Tax (IBI) and the Transfer Tax and Stamp Duty (ITP-AJD).

So, what may be the reasons why there may be changes in your cadastral data? The main ones include: 

  • Construction of new buildings 
  • Modification of the ownership of the property
  • Segregation or grouping of plots

It is essential to keep the cadastral information of a property up to date to ensure proper management and taxation of taxes.

Consulting the cadastral data of a property is an important process to know the details about your property, its location and its characteristics.

The information that can be obtained in the cadastral consultation includes, among other data:

  • The cadastral reference of the property.
  • The description of the property (type of construction, age, surface, etc.)
  • The use of the property (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.)
  • The ownership of the property
  • Encumbrances and encumbrances on the property
  • The cadastral value of the property
  • Possible discrepancies between the cadastral description and the reality of the property.
