On October 22, 2024, a draft Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Law on the Cadastre and Land Registry (ZID ZKIR) was published on the Public Consultation Portal. The draft introduces important changes that will impact users of administrative services provided by cadastral offices.
The proposed amendments aim to significantly reduce the time and costs for users by regulating the free provision of services to administrative and judicial bodies, public functionaries, and organizations providing public services.
A key change is the introduction of a ban on requesting information and documents from the Agency for Geodesy, Cartography, and Cadastre (AGKK) that are already available in public registers and can be obtained through official channels. This also includes registers of Municipal Agricultural Services (OSZ), thereby relieving citizens of unnecessary administrative burdens.
Another important aspect of the amendments is the redistribution of workload among AGKK employees across the country. Cadastral maps and records will now be maintained by any AGKK office, regardless of the location of the property, eliminating the current requirement to manage them locally.
Additionally, the AGKK will automatically obtain information about registered deeds related to real estate, as well as information on civil status and kinship to establish inheritance or issue certificates related to inheritance.
The amendments also strengthen the role of electronic documents in providing cadastral services. AGKK will issue electronic documents, which can be printed upon request, and each will include a unique code that can be verified in the cadastral information system.
The centralization of property identifier assignments through the information system, instead of at the local service office, is also proposed. Moreover, individuals can request the rectification of inconsistencies in the boundaries of properties located in non-urbanized areas.
Lastly, the subject matter of the regulation will be expanded to include services provided by the Geocart Fund, the Register of Legal Entities, and specialized maps and registers under the National Land Registry, along with the terms and conditions for their provision.
In conclusion, the proposed changes aim to strengthen communication between different administrations and ensure that cadastral maps and records are up-to-date, benefiting citizens by saving them time and money.
