Digital cadastre and property register in Bulgaria - 1

Cadastre and property register act (CPRA) has been establish in 2001 and it arranges new principles for the organization, funding, creation, administration and use of the cadastre and the property register;

Geodesy, cartography and cadastre agency (GCCA) is an executive agency established with main functions pursuant to the Cadastre and property register act;

The Agency is a legal entity, having its seat in Sofia and operating through its 28 regional units – Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Offices (GCCO), located in the administrative centres of the regions;

The cadastre is created, maintained and stored by the Agency for geodesy, cartography and cadastre;

The property register is kept and stored by the Registry Agency;

Digital cadastre and property register in Bulgaria - 3

The cadastre and the property register are created, maintained up-to-date and stored in digital form in Integrated information systems for cadastre property register (IISCPR) ;

IISCPR deliver the bilateral connection between cadastre and the property register, based on the identifier of immovable properties;

Cadastre and properties register are integrated and exchange information;

Users of digital cadastre and property register (CPR) data: Cadastre and Property registration Agencies employees;

Specialists participating in CPR business processes (notaries, geodetic and surveying companies;

Government and municipal institutions;

Private service companies (banks, property brokers, utilities, etc.);

End users (citizens, legal entities, media, etc.).

Contents of cadastre map and cadastral registers

The cadastre data are mapped out on a cadastre map and recorded in cadastral registers;

The cadastre aggregates data about:

Location, boundaries and extent of immovable property within the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria;

Right of ownership on immovable properties;

Other real rights over immovable properties;

State borders;

Boundaries of administrative-territorial units;

Boundaries of territories belonging to settlements;

Boundaries of territories of identical durable land use;

Data about the right of ownership and other real rights over immovable properties in the cadastre shall be received from the property register.

Contents of the property register

The property register comprises the lots of the immovable properties.

In the property register are recorded:

the acts recognizing or conveying right of ownership;

the acts establishing, conveying, modifying and terminating other real right over immovable properties;

interdictions and mortgages over the latter;

other legal actions, circumstances and legal facts for which recordation is envisaged by law.

The basic data about the immovable properties in the property register shall be received from the cadastre.

Territorial administrative units – 28 districts

District boundaries

District administrative center

Capital city

Territorial administrative units – 264 municipality

District boundaries

Municipality boundaries

Territorial units – settlement lands

Municipalities are subdivided into settlement lands;

Urbanized territory and surrounding agricultural and forest territories belonging to the settlement are located within its boundaries;

Every settlement has a unique code (EKATTE) from the Unified classifier of administrative-territorial units;

The immovable properties receive unique identifier formed within the boundaries of a settlement;

Data sources for creating cadastral map and cadastral registers

Data from previous cadastral, regulation or structural plans

Data for the owners and holders of other real rights gathered from the registers to the maps and plans, the registers of the municipal and regional administration;

Data gathered through geodetic, photogrametric and other measuring and calculations

Data from digital map of the restored ownership of agricultural and forest land The data that correspond by

contents and precision the requirements determined by the CPR Act are combined for creating digital cadastral map and cadastral registers

Immovable properties, objects in the cadastre

Landed property is the basic unit of the cadastre, it is a part of the surface of the earth, including durably covered with water, defined by boundaries compliant with the right of ownership. The landed properties is fully cover up the territory of the country, defined by the state borders, without overlapping each other.

Building, including also rough construction (building or structure which surrounding walls and roof have been made)

Self-contained object (SCO) in a building or in a facility of the technical infrastructure - part of the building or facility that has a self-dependent function and building with exposed walls. SCO can be an apartment, office, studio, garage, store

Each landed property, building or self-contained object shall be attributed an identifier, a unique number by which the immovable property is singularly identified within the territory of the country.

The unique identifier of an land property in cadastre

The territory of a settlement land is divided into cadastral regions A cadastral region is limited by boundaries of settlement lands, boundaries of cities and boundaries of existing

linear objects or topographic forms on the land - roads, railways, rivers, gulches and other Every cadastral region received a unique number within the boundary of the settlement land A cadastral region contains land properties that receives a unique number within the boundary of the

corresponding cadastral region. The unique identifier of an land property consists the EKATTE code of the settlement, the number of the

corresponding cadastral region and the sequent number within the boundary of the cadastral region, divided by “dot”.

Boundary of a settlement land with EKATTE code 06286

Cadastral region N76 within the boundary of a settlement land

Land property N20 in the boundary of a cadastral regions

Landed property identifier06286.76.20

• Buildings receive sequent numbers within the land property they belongs. For creating the building identifier this number is added at the end of the land property identifier

• Self-contained object (SCO) receive sequent numbers within the building they belongs. For creating the SCO identifier this number is added at the end of the building identifier

The unique identifier of a Building and Self-contained object in cadastre

Building N1 in parcel 06286.501.230 has identifier 06286.501.230.1

501

SCO N1 in building 06286.501.230.1 has identifier 06286.501.230.1.1

Information about the points of geodetic work

Copy of the cadastral map in digital or graphic format

Coverage with cadastre map and cadastre registers corresponding the requirements of the CPR Act

Coverage 18,3 % of the territory,over 7 millions immovable properties

3 002 655 landed properties1 966 316 buildings2 111 258 self-contained object

Priorities in the creation of CMCR:

- District centers;

- Municipality centers;

- Areas with increased investment interest (coast, mountain and beach resorts, border areas, areas with intensive and active land market development )

Present and future development of GCCA information systems

Cadastre information system Migrating from decentralized model to centralized model of cadastral database Migrating to open source Database management system (DBMS) – PostGRESQL Coordinate transformation of the cadastral data to coordinate system BGS2005 Implementation of a new file format for cadastral data based on OGS standarts

Implementation of INSPIRE data specifications for as developed by the Thematic Working Group Harmonization of spatial data sets and implementation of INSPIRE data

specifications for the Thematic Working Group:• Coordinate reference systems• Geographical names• Cadastral parcels

Metadata for the spatial data sets Establish and operate a network services for the spatial data sets and metadata

Development of new information systems Information systems of Geokartfund Informations system for specialized maps under Act on the black sea coast spatial

development
