On 4 November 2023 provisions of the Law on amendments and supplements of the Law on the Registration Procedure with the Cadastre of Real Estate and Utilities and Law on amendments and
supplements of the Law on State Survey and Cadastre came into effect stipulating innovations regarding the efficiency of registration in the cadastre, i.e. centralization of registration of all types of
infrastructural and underground facilities, in one database.
Below are introduced some of the most significant changes to the aforementioned laws.
I. LAW ON AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS OF THE LAW ON THE REGISTRATION PROCEDURE WITH THE CADASTRE OF REAL ESTATE AND UTILITIES
Amendments and supplements of this law should simplify and speed up the registration process in the cadastre, and eliminate the shortcomings observed in its application so far.
The first significant novelty is the change in the name of this law, which now reads: “Law on the Registration Procedure with the Cadastre of Real Estate and Infrastructure Cadastre” in order to
harmonize the terminology with the Law on Amendments to the Law on State Survey and Cadastre. In addition to changing the name of the law, among other things, the terms “real estate sheet” were changed to “extract from the real estate cadastre database” and “utilities sheet” to “extract from the infrastructure cadastre database”.
Furthermore, the method of determining the unique registration number of real estate (“URNRE”) has been regulated by determining and entering the URNRE for each real estate individually. In the process of registering real estate in the cadastre of the Geodetic-Cadastre Information System (“GCIS”), each real estate is automatically assigned an URNRE that follows the life cycle of the real estate. If there are changes to the real estate for which the URNRE has been determined (division and merger of real estate, removal of an object, part of an object or a special part of an object), a new URNRE is determined for that real estate in the process of registering the change, and the previously assigned one is archived in GCIS.
Of particular importance is the amendment of the provision that prescribes the manner in which a party can submit a request for registration in the real estate cadastre. Namely, the party can submit a request for registration through the e-counter, through a professional user who is authorized to digitize a document issued in paper form, and such a request must be submitted on an electronic form.
