Real Estate Cadastre & Registration Project (Serbia)

closed

The Real Estate Cadastre and Registration Project seeks to increase investor confidence, and lower transaction costs in the building industry, and, promote an efficient property registration and cadastre system that contributes to the development of effective real property markets. To this end, the project will support both operational tasks, and improvement of the real estate cadastre (REC), as well as institutional development for the Republic Geodetic Authority (RGZ), through two main components. The operational development and support component, will help speed RGZ's completion and maintenance of the REC to deliver quality services. This component will foster accelerated implementation in priority urban, and related rural areas, and, further develop the ongoing real property registration system, focusing on improving customer service. It will further provide production of digital maps for cadastral municipalities (CM), as selected, in mostly urban areas. Improvements to the information and communications technologies, strengthening of secondary transactions, and control network improvements will benefit all RGZ offices, and in turn, most Serbian property owners. The objective of the capacity building and institutional strengthening component, is to provide managerial support to RGZ, improve business processes, the legal framework, and, in addition, customer service will benefit cadastre and registry systems users. The public information campaign will target various groups - cadastre and real estate professionals, landowners, and the general public, among others.
