Countdown for the Land Cadastral

Countdown for the Land Cadastral

The Land Registry is entering the final line in 2019. The land reclamation contest for the rest of the country (BUILDING 16), which was first announced in 2013 but did not proceed due to court jams, was redesigned and last January again 27 of the 32 contracts, which are normally evolving.

However, five contracts are pending for 7% of the country's property rights or other registrable rights (eg full or fine ownership, usufruct, footer, or other real estate, etc.).

 

The project will be completed for 2022

Pending contracts have not been signed due to objections by the participants in the competition and are those responsible for the new delays and postpone the completion of the Land Registry for 2022.

These contracts relate to the land registration in the other departments of Thesprotia and Corfu, Cyclades (Andros, Tinos, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Santorini, Milos, Kea, Kythnos), Rethymnon, Chania and one of the two conventions of the Regional Unity of Heraklion.

To date, the cadastre has been completed and Cadastre works for 29.2% of the total rights in Greece. For 61.8% of the rights, 72 landing contracts are being developed, totaling 490 million euros. In particular, KEIM 16 concerns 16.5 million allowances (43% of the country's 39 million total rights).

Gradually, until February, the registration process will begin in other parts of the country (except those included in the five contracts).

 

Areas and process

In particular, January is scheduled to start collecting declarations at the regional units of Drama, Xanthi, Chalkidiki, Kastoria, Florina, Magnesia, Sporades, Viotia, Fokida, Evia, Achaia, Ileia, Messinia, Lakonia and Heraklion. In February, the registration process will start in Ithaca, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Lemnos, Lesvos, Western Attica as well as in the islands of the Attica Region.

In the last two months of 2018 the beginning of the collection of declarations in the Region of the South Aegean (peripheral units of Kalymnos, Karpathos, Kos and Rhodes) and 18 other regions of the country.

The registration process takes 40 months and the timetable is as follows: eight months of preparation and six months of collection of declarations, nine months of processing for redeployment, one month of redeployment, six months of post processing, four months of posting and submitting requests for corrections or protests and five months for the cadastral table to be reformed for the final operation of the Land Registry (first entries).

 

Objections to Forest Maps

A prerequisite for the successful completion of the Land Register is the ratification of the Forest Maps as they determine which areas are classified as forests or forests, information used by the forestry authorities to declare and protect the State real estate in the context of cadastral surveying against stormy abusers.

To date, Forest Maps have been ratified, corresponding to 40.41% of the Greek territory and maps have been posted for 52.72% of the country's territory. The final objections of citizens have reached 153,000 and represent 765,000 acres.

For the rest of the country, the drawing up of Forest Maps has been commissioned since last year by design offices (except for the prefecture of Evros, for which the contract is signed today). Especially in the affected Attica East, the maps have started to be staggered and the process will continue in the early months of 2019.

 

It aims to be sanctioned by 2020

As soon as the new forest maps are posted, the objection procedure will also be initiated, which concerns the questioning of the character or the shape of the displayed areas in the forest map. The goal is for Greece to have ratified maps by 2020, so as to "flip" with the Land Registry.

According to the data from the Forest Maps that have hitherto been posted, the settlements of arbitrary buildings (the famous residential densities) occupy 300,000 acres. Also, five million acres are located within approved town plans, while 2.6 million acres of land are so-called "gray zones", ie not urbanized, although many of these areas are already structured.

 

One year's "breath" for 171,552 "unknown owner" properties

 

An extension of one year, that is to say by the end of 2019, was given by the Ministry of Environment and Energy (RIS) in mid-December to declare what property has been imprinted on the Land Registry as an "unidentified owner".

The time-limit that had expired expired at the end of 2018, and if no extension was granted, the ownership of the property would go to the hands of the State. It covers 171,552 properties in 111 regions of the country, which have been completed 14 years since the date of commencement of the first cadastral offices.

According to the new RIS regulation, a twelve-month "trawl" is given to finalize the first registrations (made until 2/8/2006), provided that the deadline for bringing an action for correction of an inaccurate first registration has not expired by 30 / 11/18.

Areas of Attica (Vrilissia, Melissia, Elefsina, Gerakas, Nea Peramos, Nea Smyrni, Renti, Neo Psychiko), as well as other areas in Thessaloniki, Aitoloakarnania, Argolida, Arkadia, Arta, Achaia, Drama, Patmos, Evros, Evia , Zakynthos, Ilia, Imathia, Thesprotia, Kavala, Kastoria, Kefallinia, Kilkis, Kozani, Cyclades, Laconia, Larissa, Lefkada, Magnesia, Messinia, Xanthi, Pieria, Preveza, Rodopi, Trikala, Fthiotida and Florina.
