Ruling on the suspension of georeferenced registration due to boundary disputes under Article 199 of the Mortgage Law

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a registrar's negative assessment, which suspended the registration of a property's georeferencing in Boiro. The suspension followed allegations from an adjacent landowner, who used a topographic map to claim that the new boundaries encroached upon their property. The procedure was conducted under the Article 199 process of the Mortgage Law for surface rectification and coordination with the Cadastre.

In 2 key points

  1. The registration of the graphic base is suspended if there is a dispute regarding the delimitation and the proposal is not uncontested (Fundamentos de Derecho)
  2. Article 199 of the Mortgage Law allows for the completion of a property description through a descriptive and graphic cadastral certificate (art. 199 Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For the property owner, any controversy regarding graphic delimitation prevents the registration of the georeferenced graphic representation, even if a positive graphic validation report from the Cadastre has been obtained. For adjacent landowners, the Article 199 procedure of the Mortgage Law grants them the right to submit allegations and technical documentation to oppose changes affecting their boundaries.
