It seems like a question anyone would ask when reviewing the papers of a property and it is cadastre there is mandatory. If you buy a house and don’t register it in the Cadastre, sooner or later the Tax Office will find you. This is one of the main cadastre procedures.
The Property Registry, on the other hand, belongs to the Ministry of Justice. Its function is not to collect taxes, but to provide legal certainty. There it doesn’t matter so much whether your house is 90 or 95 square meters, but rather who owns it, or whether there is a usufruct. The curious thing is that . The basis of everything is the “. For purely physical and tax matters (square meters, value), what the Cadastre says prevails. The so-called registry cadastre does not exist as a single entity; they are two parallel realities.
People usually think that since the Cadastre is mandatory, it is the most important. It is a reserved one. In the Registry, anyone with a legitimate interest can request a simple note and find out who owns a property and what charges it has. That difference says it all: the Cadastre is an internal instrument of the Administration, whose cadastre information is mainly tax-related; the Registry is a public service to provide transparency to the market.
In summary, it is not enough to register property in cadastre. The true legal protection comes from registering your property deed in the Registry, making sure that the data of a property deed matches as closely as possible with the cadastre information to avoid future problems.
