Greece will finally have a land registry in 2025, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, said on Tuesday during the discussion of the bill of the Ministry of Digital Governance.
“Greece was the only European state without a land registry in the 21st century. A pending issue that this government had to solve, because in 2025 our country will finally have a cadastre, an accurate map of public and private real estate, with forests and beaches now demarcated, where what belongs to state and what belongs to the citizen is clearly marked and with clear rules that will facilitate collective development as well as individual transactions – and all this without loopholes of arbitrariness and lawlessness,” the prime minister noted.
According to the Greek premier, the benefits of the land registry are numerous. “More specifically, in the economy by facilitating new investments, in the real estate market, in the environment – it will stop encroachments – but also in general by transparently regulating a critical sector that affects many aspects of daily life.”
The data of the cadastre will be presented on the digital maps, together with those of the urban planning, the Greek statistical authority, the fiber optic networks, the forest, protected areas, the monuments, the archaeological sites identity of each region, and everyone will be able to know where and what they can build or find the right place to build a factory or a research centre,” Mitsotakis emphasised.
