Land Management System (SIGEF): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Land Management System (SIGEF) provides official certification for property boundaries in Brazil.
The Land Management System (SIGEF) is an official platform used to certify the precise geographic boundaries of a piece of land.
Who it's for
This system is designed for property owners who are currently undergoing the process of land certification.
What you get
By using this system, you receive official certification of your property boundaries, confirming exactly where your land begins and ends.
What it costs you
To use this system, you cannot simply register the land yourself. You will need to hire a certified surveyor to perform a process called georreferenciamento, which is the technical mapping of your land's coordinates.
The catch to know
The most important thing to verify is that your property boundaries match the registrations of all your adjacent properties. If there is a discrepancy between where your land ends and your neighbor's land begins, it can cause issues with the certification.
How to apply
- Hire a certified professional to perform the necessary land mapping.
- Ensure all boundary measurements align with neighboring property records.
- Submit the technical data through the official system.
