The national cadastre is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, although key issues remain unresolved, particularly the examination of objections to forest maps, which is expected to continue through the end of 2027.
Government officials presented the project’s progress at an event attended by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and four cabinet ministers. Speakers emphasized the importance of the cadastre, spatial planning and urban planning for economic activity and the use of real estate assets.
According to figures presented at the event, property rights have now been posted across 99% of the country, meaning properties have been assigned a cadastral identification number, known as KAEK. The Environment Ministry said that 51% of the 466,000 objections submitted regarding forest maps have been examined so far.
Reviews are nearly complete in parts of Macedonia, Epirus and Western Greece but are progressing more slowly in Crete, eastern Attica and the Peloponnese. Deputy Digital Governance Minister Christos Dermetzopoulos said that 27.8 million property rights have been registered in the operating cadastre and that 650,000 transactions were processed in 2025.
Mitsotakis said the project had reached 99% coverage from 38% in 2019. “It is perhaps the most emblematic reform and symbolizes the government’s efforts to overcome problems inherited from the past,” he said. He also outlined a vision for a unified digital map integrating planning and building information.
