Virtual Cadastre: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Access official property data and tax values for your real estate through this digital service.
The Virtual Cadastre is a digital service provided by the Ministerio de Hacienda that allows you to access official information regarding property details and their assessed tax values.
Who it's for
This service is specifically designed for property owners who need to verify the official status of their real estate. It serves as a tool for individuals to confirm that the government's records for their land or buildings are accurate and up to date.
What you get
By using this service, you can access official property data and the specific tax values assigned to a property. A key piece of information you can find is the "Referencia catastral," which is the unique official identifier used to identify and describe a specific property within the national registry. Having access to this data allows you to confirm the technical details and the fiscal standing of a property through a centralized digital system.
What it costs you
There is no charge for using this service. It is free for property owners to access the digital portal to view their information.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that you must ensure your property description in the system matches the actual reality of the physical property. If there are discrepancies between how the property is described in the official records and how it actually looks or is structured, you may encounter tax issues. It is your responsibility to ensure the data reflects the current state of your property to avoid these complications.
How to apply
- Access the official portal provided by the Ministerio de Hacienda.
- Search for your property using the available search tools.
- Verify that the official property data and tax values are correct.
- Check that the "Referencia catastral" matches your own records.
