27/01/2025   Category:  Land Registry and Property Records

A cadastral survey is an official Italian document that reports detailed information about a property, such as its location, characteristics and tax status. It is an extract from the Cadastre, the public register that collects data on land and buildings in the country.

What does a cadastral survey in Italy contain?

A cadastral visura can cover two main types of property:

• Buildings: contains details such as the cadastral category, cadastral income, address and area of the property.
• Land: provides information on the type of land, its area, and its annuity.

Why is it useful?

✅ Deed of Purchase and Sale: When buying or selling a property, the cadastral survey is essential to confirm that the cadastral data correspond to the actual data. It can prevent future legal issues related to inconsistencies in information.

✅ Determination of cadastral income: The cadastral view is essential to determine the cadastral income of a property, which affects the taxes that must be paid (such as IMU or TASI).

✅ Verification of ownership: Allows identification of who is the legal owner of a property, which is useful for resolving any disputes related to ownership.

✅ Tax and zoning practices: Often required to obtain financing or for zoning practices, such as renovations or changes of use.
