The municipality of Tavira has started with the updating and digitalisation of the land register as part of the national system called SiNErGIC (Sistema Nacional de Exploracao e Gestao de Informacao Cadastral) for the use and management of cadastral information. The main objective is to clearly document the exact delimitations of a property by integrating existing and new cadastral information for the purpose of future land planning policies, public works and a range of other governing policies such as the environment.

What started as a pilot program in Loule in 2013 has been rolled out throughout the Algarve in municipalities where such registers previously did not exist. The introduction is implemented in three stages with the Algarve being the first, followed by  central Portugal and the north will be the last to implement the new system.

Property owners have time until the 24th of July 2015 to register for free, thereafter there will be a charge. All types of property must be registered. If you own a property which is part of a condominium the administrator of the condominium will make the registration. In all other cases the homeowner or their representative will have to make the registration. All land must have landmarks with the initials of names of the current owner of the property. SiNErGIC has an instruction folder available with instructions the demarcation of a property. (a copy can also be obtained from our offices)

The registration of your property must be done in your local parish and you need to bring your identification and a copy of the caderneta predial (Tax registration document of the property). If your property has a urban and a rustic article, you need to bring both. Note, as there has been a consolidation of various parishes new articles have been allocated. If you have online access to the Financas website, you can print out the document with the new number. Alternatively you can visit your local tax office or contact your lawyer.

A team of SiNErGIC will then define the exact delimitations of your property which includes a visit to your property, after which there is no room for disputes. A new unique property number (NIP) will be allocated to make future transactions easier and clearer.
