A NEW GENERATION OF
CADASTRAL REGISTRIES
From June
17 to December 30, 2008. Hellenes abroad register their real estate
The Hellenic Cadastre expands in 107 new areas in the prefectures of
Athens, Thessaloniki and the capital cities of all prefectures
throughout Greece which had not been included in the country’s cadastre
with previous projects.
Hellenic Cadastre constitutes the most important registry project that
has ever been undertaken. In less than 4 years 3.1 million hectares of
land and 6.7 million real estate property rights will be registered.
Once this project, in which 3 million citizens will participate, is
completed, the Hellenic Cadastre will have covered 2/3 of the country’s
population.
Citizens owning real estate properties in these areas must have them
registered at the Hellenic Cadastre from June 17 until September 30,
2008, while Hellenes abroad and Hellenic citizens residing abroad can
register their real estate until December 30, 2008.
What do the citizens must know:
1. All legal and physical entities entitled to real estate situated in
one of the 107 registering areas are obliged to submit a real estate
declaration. By the term entitled, it is understood every complete and
bare ownership of any real estate property, the usufruct, or other
right of user.
The declaration concerns all real estate properties, either in or out
the zoning plan, rural or urban. It also concerns all rights on the
real estate properties. In case a real estate property is owned by more
than one individual, the property must be declared by every individual
bearing rights on the it.
2. In order for citizens to be best served, 76 registration offices,
where the citizens can submit their declarations, have been stationed.
Every registration office is competent for the real estate properties
declared in one or more areas.
3. Any necessary supporting documents which need to be attached to the
declaration form by the citizens are now limited to a simple photocopy
of the possession title (i.e. contracts) and the receipt for the
payment of the registration fixed charge.
Let it be noted that the declaration form has been significantly
simplified, so that it can be filled out by each citizen by him/her
self, without the need for consultation.
Besides the form, the Cadastre asks from the citizens to present a copy
of the certificate in case of a conveyance of title and plot maps of
the property declared, if there are any. Evidently, in special cases
where property’s ownership is more complicated (inheritance or positive
prescription), more documents will be required.
4. Declaration forms can be submitted only after registration’s fixed
charge is paid. For urban areas, the fixed charge is 35 euros per
right, whereas for auxiliary spaces (storage spaces, parking) that
constitute independent properties, the charge amounts to 20 euros.
Especially for rural areas, physical entities that declare more than
two (2) proprietary titles or rights must pay only for two titles,
regardless of their total amount of titles which declare at the local
government station. Payment transactions are carried out through banks,
the 13 larger banks ones which are active in Greece. Payment receipt
must be attached to the declaration form.
DECLARATION SUBMISSION FOR HELLENES ABROAD
Hellenes abroad who must submit their form by December 30 can submit
their forms through:
1. proxy especially designated for legal actions linked to the their
real estate property;
2. a tier party with a single written authorization. In this case,
authorization must be sent via post mail bearing the author’s
signature, together with any attachments required. The person
authorized to carry out the transactions, must pay for the fixed fee to
one of the banks cooperating and to submit the declaration form to the
competent Cadastre station.
3. For the first time, declaration forms submission can be carried out
electronically, through a specialized application, (with a frequently
updated FQA section) available at KTIMATOLOGIO SA’s official website
(www.ktimatologio.gr). In this case, attached documents are sent via
post to the competent Cadastre station, while the fixed fee is paid
through credit card.
Hellenes abroad can get information:
• by calling 0030 210 6505600 or sending an e-mail at
ktimagen@ktimatologio.gr or through the post at 288 Mesogheion Ave,

• by visiting KTIMATOLOGIO SA’ s official website which will be
frequently updated.
In the near future Hellenic Cadastre will proceed with a special
information campaign through satellite media.
For expatriates’ best information and service, Ktimatologio SA
collaborates with the World Council of Hellenes Abroad (SAE), the
Secretariat General for Hellenes Abroad as well as the Press and
Communication Offices of the Greek Embassies abroad supervised by the
Secretariat General for Information.
