Municipality boundaries
Territorial units – settlement lands
 Municipalities are subdivided
into settlement lands;
 Urbanized
territory
and
surrounding agricultural and
forest territories belonging to
the settlement are located
within its boundaries;
 Every settlement has a unique
code (EKATTE) from the
Unified
classifier
of
administrative-territorial units;
 The immovable properties
receive
unique
identifier
formed within the boundaries
of a settlement.
Data sources for creating cadastral map and
cadastral registers
Data from digital map of the
restored ownership of agricultural
and forest lands
Data gathered through geodetic,
photogrametric and other
measurments and calculations
Data from previous cadastral,
regulation or structural plans
The data that correspond by
contents and precision the
requirements determined by
the CPR Act are combined
for creating digital cadastral
map and cadastral registers
Data for the owners and holders of
other real rights, gathered from the
registers to the maps and plans and
the registers of the municipal and
regional administration
Immovable properties, objects in the cadastre
 Land property is the basic unit of the cadastre, it
is a part of the surface of the earth, including
durably covered with water, defined by boundaries
compliant with the right of ownership. The land
properties fully cover up the territory of the country,
defined by the state borders, without overlapping
each other.
 Building, including also rough construction
(building or structure which surrounding walls and
roof have been made)
 Self-contained object (SCO) in a building or in
a facility of the technical infrastructure - part of
the building or facility that has a self-dependent
function and building with exposed walls. SCO can
be an apartment, office, studio, garage, store, etc.
 Each land property, building or self-contained
object is attributed an identifier, a unique number
by which the immovable property is singularly
identified within the territory of the country.

via “KAIS portal”
 Application forms for a service are filled in and sent to GCCA for
implementation;
 GCCA employees handle the request in the statutory deadline;
 Depending on the type of final document, the result can be available
electronically in the client profile in KAIS or shall be received in the
GCCA reception room;
 Application forms for some services require to be digitally signed by the
client;
 For the services of cadastral map and cadastral registers shall be paid
fees determined by a tariff approved by the Council of Ministers.
Reports in “KAIS portal”
 Real time references, automatically generated by the system;

Priorities in the
creation of CMCR:
- District centers;
- Municipality centers;
- Areas with increased
investment interest (coast,
mountain and beach
resorts, border areas,
areas with intensive and
active land market
development)
