CADASTRE AND PROPERTY REGISTER IN REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA

The report analysis the issues of the cadastre and the property (land) register, whose law regulation is Bulgarian Cadastre and Property Register Act. Restitution and privatization of immovable properties that took place some years ago were the main reason for performing a legal reform in this field. There is a long-term program of creation of cadastral maps and registers in Bulgarian. The priorities in this process are the regional and municipal centres and territories with active market like Black Sea coast or border zones. Cadastre is a guarantee for: the right of ownership of immovable properties for territory of the whole country because it covers settlements, agricultural land, forests and other territories; secure transactions and mortgaging; limitation of court claims.
