Administration of Czech Cadastre

• Main task of cadastral offices, core duties
• Registering of rights by entries, records
• Provision of cadastral information
• Cadastral offices able to cope with these tasks,
  despite the huge increase in proceedings and the
  forced decrease in number of employees
• But it has influenced the slow progress in
  digitizing of cadastral maps and this delay
  causes obstacles for us as well as our clients

Precautions for speeding up digitizing of
cadastral maps

• Only 34 of cadastral units have been digitized
• Governmental decision in July 2007
• COSMC will receive extra budget approx. 8,25
  mil. EUR in each year 2009-2015
• 60 for temporary increase in employees
• 40 for private surveyors
• Increase in budgetary expenditures does not
  comply with the general policy of the government
  higher expenditures will be covered by an
  increase in cadastral fees
• Digitizing has to be completed by 2015

9
New structure of cadastral fees

• Current level among the lowest in Europe
  approx. 19 EUR per entry, not depending on the
  number of registered properties
• New structure the same amount for each property
  and each registered right
• Triple increase in cadastral fee for an average
  entry still quite affordable
• Amendments of laws under way, shall be effective
  from 1.1.2009, discussions about the openness
  of cadastre
• Standardised forms for applications, both paper
  and electronic, will be implemented

10
Information system of Czech Cadastre

• Uninterrupted run since 2001, including provision
  of information via internet
• New functions for clients of Remote Access
• Reference raster parcel maps
• Outputs with electronic signature
• Delivery of e-Application by professional clients
• Web services for provision of some information
• Links to Czech POINTS (one-stop-shops)
• Centralisation of information system
