The Spanish cadastre as information system

Mas, Sebastian

In 1978 the Reform of Taxation System established that real estate taxes will be collected by the local authorities. These taxes are the main annual income for the local authorities. The taxation system is based on the cadastral value. Together with the importance of cadastral data for many other applications this is the reason that the Spanish government started in 1982 a complete renewal of the cadastre. This way the government hopes to establish a high quality cadastre, based on accurate cartographic data and continuously updated.
