Resolution by the Directorate General for Legal Certainty: analysis of the suspension of georeferenced property registration

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against the suspension of the registration of a georeferenced graphic representation of a registered property in Sabiñánigo. The dispute arose following a request to rectify the surface area of a property from 326 m2 to 349 m2 based on a cadastral certificate. The registrar suspended the registration due to opposition from a neighbouring landowner, who alleged a different physical delimitation through traditional walls and an expert report.

In 2 key points

  1. Request for area rectification from 326 m2 to 349 m2 via cadastral certification (Hechos I)
  2. Opposition from a neighbour based on the inaccuracy of the cadastral representation and actual physical boundaries (Hechos II)

How it affects those involved

For the property owner, the process necessitates proving the accuracy of the georeferencing against claims from neighbours asserting ownership of strips of land. For neighbouring owners, the rules and procedures for registrar assessment allow for opposition through formal allegations when the cadastral representation is deemed inaccurate regarding the actual physical boundaries. The case highlights the risk of suspending area rectification registrations when boundary conflicts exist between cadastral data and physical reality.
