The Hellenic Cadastre records properties with absolute transparency and security and secures ownership of the real property of every citizen in Greece.
Cadastral?surveys document the boundaries of land ownership by the production of documents, diagrams, sketches, and plans that indicate location, shape, boundaries, etc.
The cadastral survey requires those who have real estate rights in the cadastral areas of Greek territory to submit a declaration of ownership of their properties to the specific Cadastral Office of the area where the properties are located.
The submission of the declaration of the property is mandatory and constitutes a prerequisite for any legal act concerning the property in the future (e.g. parental benefit, donation or transfer, issuing a building license in Greece).
In the case that a property is not declared by the owner within the deadline of the cadastral survey, it will be recorded in the National Cadastre database as “UNKNOWN OWNER”. Consequently, the owners will have to turn to the courts in order to claim their properties.
WHO MUST SUBMIT A DECLARATION?
All persons or legal entities who have real estate or other registered property rights in Greece, such as ownership (full or limited ownership), usufruct, pre–notification, or other real property encumbrance are required to submit a declaration of their right to the National Cadastre.
If there are co-owners in a property, everyone must submit a separate declaration (e.g. limited ownership and usufruct of a property).
HOW TO SUBMIT A DECLARATION
The declaration can be submitted either to the specific Cadastral Survey Office in person, by proxy, or on-line at www.ktimatologio.gr.
The deadline for submitting declarations is three (3) months for residents in Greece and six (6) months for non-residents in Greece. After the expiry of this deadline, the declaration is OVERDUE and an extra fine may be imposed depending on the value and the type of the properties.
