Relationship between LR and Cadastral

Are Land Registry and Cadastre different institutions?

Yes.

The land registers in Poland are under the jurisdiction of district courts. We do not have the cadastre system in Poland. We have register of land and buildings. In the future register of land and buildings will be transformed into cadastre. Register of land and buildings are kept by local authority offices.

Under the name cadaster we understand register of land and buildings.

In the land registers, the data on sheet A – property sheet should be identical to the data in the cadastre. Any modification of the data in sheet A of the land registers should be based on the documents from the cadastre.

The cadastre should submit each change of the data on the cadastral property to the land registration court and the LR court should inform the cadastre about each change of the owner of a real property.
