The Greek Cadastre is a comprehensive and official land registry system in Greece that records the legal, technical, and administrative information about all the real estate properties within the country’s borders. The cadastre was first established in the early 19th century, but a modern digital version was developed in the late 1990s to replace the outdated paper-based system. The Greek Cadastre aims to provide accurate and transparent information on land ownership, boundaries, rights, and restrictions, which helps to facilitate property transactions, urban planning, taxation, and other legal and administrative processes. The cadastre is managed by the Hellenic Cadastre, which is a public organization under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy.
