analytical survey uses the recent graphic layout introduced with the transition to the new SIT (Integrated Territory System) IT platform, while the
synthetic survey is provided in tabular format.
In summary: the cadastral survey is a document that provides detailed information on a property , such as its location, size, value and ownership. To obtain it, there are various methods. Read on to learn more.

The cadastral map is the
graphic representation of the land through the identification and graphic description of the parcels registered in the Land Registry, providing of these the shape and position of the lines that delimit the state property (roads, waters, etc.) and of the administrative districts. The outline of any buildings present is also represented and the trigonometric points and fiducial points are indicated.
You can request a "
map extract " regarding one or more neighboring parcels or an entire map sheet. The survey shows the position and geometry of the Land Registry parcel and any overlying buildings, referring to a specific portion of the cadastral sheet.
What is the floor plan inspection?
The cadastral plan is the
technical drawing of a real estate unit registered in the Land Registry, from which it is possible to deduce the contours, subdivision and destination of the internal rooms, metric data and numerous other information.
The plan can be requested free of charge by the holders of real rights, listed in the land registry, or by their delegates.

Search methods for cadastral survey data
The cadastral survey, in relation to a specific reference period, can be requested using different search methods:
- for property
- by subject
- per game
Search by property
The consultation is carried out using two possible search keys:
- the cadastral identifier of the real estate, i.e. the cadastral parcel for the Land Registry or the urban real estate unit for the Building Registry;
- the address of the urban real estate unit. In this case the search is limited to the archive of the Building Registry only.
Search by subject
It is possible to consult the cadastral information of a property, registered in the name of one or more subjects, by entering the personal data of the interested party: surname, name, gender, tax code if a natural person, name and registered office if a legal person.

Cadastral identifiers of a real estate property
To search for a property within the national archives, it is necessary to indicate its cadastral identifiers. Below are some clarifications regarding their use and meaning:
- Land registry municipality : generally, for each municipality, the territorial border identified in the land registry coincides with the corresponding municipal administrative border. The user can then refer to the name of the administrative municipality. The data is always mandatory. In general, the common code is made up of 4 characters coinciding with those that appear in the tax code from the 12th to the 15th character. In some territorial situations, due to failure to execute a change in the cadastral documents following the modification of the borders between Municipalities, or the establishment of new Municipalities, the user finds himself in the need to indicate the cadastral municipality of reference. In this regard, it is possible to check the state of alignment of the cadastral archives with the new administrative realities (so-called "district change") using the online service Consultation Archive of Municipalities and Foreign States.
- Administrative section (for the buildings cadastre only): subdivision of the territory of the cadastral municipality present only in some territorial contexts and therefore generally not required. It is ordinarily identified by a letter. Where present, the data is necessary for the cadastral identification of the property.
- Census section (for the land registry only): subdivision of the territory of the cadastral municipality present only in some municipalities and therefore generally not required. It is ordinarily identified by a letter. Where present, the data is necessary for the cadastral identification of the property.
- Urban section (for the buildings register only): further subdivision of the municipal territory present, regardless of the existence of the administrative section, only in some municipalities and therefore in general it is not required. It is ordinarily identified by a name of up to three characters. Although the data is necessary if present in the cadastral identifier of the property sought, the online query service assists the user by providing the list of properties that respond to the partial data provided and from which to select the one of specific interest.
- Sheet : portion of municipal territory that the land registry represents in its cartographic maps. The data is always mandatory.
- Parcel : also called map or map number, it represents within the sheet, a portion of land, or the building and any relevant area, and is marked, with rare exceptions, by a number. The data is always mandatory.
- Denominator : data possibly present only for properties that belong to the Land Registry (provinces of Trieste and Gorizia and portions of those of Udine and Belluno).
- Subaltern : for the Building Registry, where present, identifies the single real estate unit existing on a parcel. The urban real estate unit is the minimum inventory element that has income and functional autonomy. Generally, in the case of an entire building, each real estate unit is identified by its own subordinate. If the building consists of a single real estate unit, the subordinate may be absent. The data, if existing, is necessary for the unambiguous identification of the individual real estate unit; otherwise, the system will produce the list of urban real estate units having the same parcel for the purpose of their subsequent individual selection. For the Land Registry, where present it essentially refers to former rural buildings.
Data on properties registered in the Building Registry
- Address : location of the property, including the house number, staircase, floor and interior of the property unit.
- Census area: homogeneous portion of municipal territory (usually only one for medium-small municipalities and more than one for larger cities), within which the profitability of buildings is to be considered uniform. It may include a single municipality or a portion of the same, with similar environmental and socioeconomic characteristics. For each census area there is a specific "tariff table" which can be consulted at the provincial office - Territory of the Agency.
- Category : typology of real estate units present in the census area, different due to the intrinsic characteristics that determine their ordinary and permanent destination.
- Class : parameter that identifies the degree of productivity of the real estate units belonging to the categories of groups A, B and C. It is indicated with 'U' (unique) in the absence of a division into classes of the category (this, since profitability is homogeneous within the municipality or census area) or with numbers from '1' to 'n' as profitability increases.
- Consistency : size of the real estate unit. For homes and offices (category A properties) it is expressed in "rooms". For shops, warehouses and garages (category C properties) it is expressed in square metres. For properties for collective use, hospitals, barracks, etc. (category B properties), it is expressed in cubic metres. For properties belonging to the special categories of groups D and E, the cadastral consistency is not indicated.
- Income : for real estate units belonging to the categories of groups A, B and C, the cadastral income is determined by multiplying the consistency by the specific unit rate for the Municipality, census area and corresponding to the category and class. For real estate units belonging to category D and E groups, the income is determined through direct estimation.
Data on properties registered in the Land Registry
- Quality : type of agricultural macroculture attributed to a parcel of the Land Registry, or portion thereof, having relevance for the conservation of the Land Registry. If the parcel is divided into portions with different crops, the wording "Model 26" is reported without further details available only through an ordinary inspection.
- Class : parameter that identifies the degree of productivity of the particles affected by a crop quality. It is indicated with 'U' (unique) in the absence of a division into classes of the category (this is because profitability is homogeneous within the Municipality or census area) or with the numbers from '1' to 'n' where class 1 represents the highest income class.
- Ha : surface area of the land in hectares (for the synthetic survey).
- Are : surface area of the land in ares (for the synthetic view).
- Ca : surface area of the land in centimeters (for the synthetic survey).
- Surface : surface area in square meters of the land (for analytical inspection).
- Domain income : it is made up of the part of the average ordinary income that can be drawn from the exercise of agricultural activities, which belongs to the owner of the land. It is related to the quality of the land and its ordinary average productivity.
- Agricultural income : is made up of the part of the ordinary average income of the land attributable to the working capital and organizational work used, within the limits of the potential of the land, in the exercise of agricultural activities. It is related to the quality of the land and its ordinary average productivity.
