Abstract
Introduction
The Czech Republic has about 10 million
inhabitants, its area is nearly 79.000 square kilometres. The Cadastre
comprises 13.078 cadastral units, about 21 million parcels and more
than 4 million owners. Not only the need to secure rights of owners
and creditors, but first of all the needs of economy of country were
the main reasons to start the cadastral reform.
Historical Background
The Czech cadastre has its roots in the Austrian
cadastre and land registration system („grundbuch") of last
century. The development of the cadastre was heavily influenced (and
even interrupted) by frequent political events and great property
changes, particularly by several very extensive land reforms:
- first land reform in 1919 (after WWI and formation of
Czechoslovakia)
- second land reform in 1945 (after WWII)
- nationalisation and collectivisation in fifties (after communist
coup in 1948)
- restitution and privatisation (after so called „velvet
revolution" in 1989).
Political development was too busy. None of the
long-term land reforms and cadastral aims had the time enough to be
fully completed. The cadastre tried to follow the changes, in fifties
was substantially simplified and land registration abolished. After
new Civil Code in 1964 a new cadastre comprising registration of basic
rights was established. Since the cadastre of 1964 was defective and
was not able to meet the new demands of privatisation and restitution,
it was inevitable to prepare the cadastral reform. In 1993 after the
formation of the Czech Republic new basic cadastral legislation came
into force and the cadastral reform started.
New Cadastral Legislation
New cadastral legislation consists of several basic
laws and regulations. The Land Registration Act and the
Cadastral Law came back to the time-tested principles of previous land
registry („grundbuch") and land cadastre from 1927
and established the new „legal cadastre"
comprising registration of titles, which is administered by survey
authorities.
The cadastre comprises data about parcels, their
boundaries and the rights to them (ownership right, mortgage,
easement, right of first refusal, and other real rights - as far as
created as rights in rem). Cadastral data: cadastral unit, parcel
number, geometric determination of property are strictly obligatory
and legally binding in the all legal acts concerning real estates.
Records registered in the cadastre prove the truth of registered facts
untill the contrary is proved. All the cadastral documentation is open
to the public and everyone has right to look into them. Official
copies and extracts from the cadastre are public deeds.
Long/term Cadastral Conception
The long term Cadastral Conception was adopted by the government in
1993. It established not only prioroties, but solves as well the
financing of the whole ambitious project. The main aims of the
Conception were as follow:
- completing local PC LAN
in all Cadastral Offices - by 1994
- completing conversion of descriptive cadastral data
(„owner
folios" with legal titles, including completion with so called
„missing parcels") - by year1998
- digitisation of cadastral maps
(newer maps 1:1000 and 1:2000
covering 30% of area - by year 2000, and old graphic maps 1:2800
which cover 70% of area - by year 2006)
- development and implementation of new cadastral SW system
- by year 2000.
Present State of the Cadastre
Legal cadastre has been established (comprising
both land cadastre and land registry) administered by survey
authorities.
An appropriate organisation has been built up with
qualified staff (Czech Office for Surveying , Mapping and Cadastre as
the supreme body, 7 Inspectorates in regions, and 77 Cadastral Offices
in districts, totally about 5.500 employees).
Cadastral Offices are equipped with local databases
connected by WAN with the central database. All descriptive cadastral
data had been fully converted (including legal titles and searching
for so called „missing parcels") by 1998. Digitisation of
cadastral maps has started and is in progress (about 20 %of area
covered by newer modern maps 1:1000 and 1:2000 is completed, the
digitisation of old graphic maps 1:2800 covering 70% of area has
started). New enhanced cadastral software comprising WAN and remote
access has been developed and tested and is gradually implemented to
Cadastral Offices (including massive training of staff).
Conclusion
The new cadastre works reliably and has stood the
test of extensive privatisation and restitution. The new cadastral
legislation has proved to be relatively good and is step by step
improved. Descriptive data are fully converted including titles and
digitisation of maps in under progress (nearly 20 % of area). New
cadastral software has been developed and is implemented including WAN
and remote access. Offices are equipped with qualified personnel
(including lawyers) and a conception of continuous vocational
education and training was adopted.
Due to the international consultant help (within PHARE) the way to
improve the content and services of an enhanced cadastre is discussed
as well as the questions of efficiency and future financing. An open
discussion forum „NEMOFORUM" has been established
comprising main users of cadastral data both from private and public
sector.

The Cadastral Reform in the Czech Republic
Motto
„The remedy of former mistakes in such extensive
information systems, as the cadastre is, is extremely expensive and needs
long-term political and economical stability and time counted not in years,
but in decades."
1. INTRODUCTION
The Land Cadastre as a tax tool and the Land Registry (grundbuch)
have a very long tradition on the territory of the present Czech Republic, which
was a part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire until 1918. The legal base of modern
era of these institutions was created by the Civil Code from 1811, the Cadastral
Law from 1819 and the Land Registration Law from 1871, which established some
basic principles valid and used even today.
The post-war development in the Land Registry and the Land
Cadastre was heavily influenced by the political events in the Czech Republic.
Continuous development of the cadastre and the land registry was interrupted
after communist coup in 1948. The result of radical political changes was a new
Civil Code of 1951 which, apart from other things, abolished obligatory
registration, suppressed some individual rights and preferred new collective and
state rights to use land. The Land Registry records were not regularly updated,
lost their legal reliability and after some time it was even impossible to keep
them at all. The only documents proving ownership and other rights in land from
that period were individual deeds without any list or register enabling to get a
certainty of their succession. The cadastre including maps was very simplified
and the new cadastre founded in 1954 represented not rights, but physical use of
land only (not even rights to use). This substantial change in registration of
land was so hard, that after some time it proved to be inconvenient even for the
political aims of communist state.
In 1964, when a new Civil Code came into effect, it was
decided to establish State Notaries (registering not all deeds but only deeds
concerning individual persons) and to modify the current cadastre completing it
with simplified records about ownership rights to support the rights of the
state, of state enterprises and co-operative companies. The rights of natural
persons were suppressed in this deformed rule of law. The person was generally
permitted to own land but not permitted to use it in some cases. Under such
conditions the cadastre was heavily deformed as well, and the parcels of persons
used by the state and by co-operative companies were amalgamated into huge
blocks and were not individually registered in the cadastre. This new cadastre
according to the Cadastral Law from 1964 was kept on the base of deeds (some of
them registered by the State Notary) but had no legal consequences. The only
proof of rights in land was still the proper deed. The most precious part of
this cadastre is thus the collection of deeds, which was completed even from the
period of absence of any registration (1951 - 1964) by systematic searching
during years 1966 to 1988.
After the fall of the communist regime in 1989 a new
governmental programme of restitution, privatisation and general economic
reconstruction started. The current cadastre couldn't meet new demands and it
was decided to come back to the time-tested principles of previous land registry
a land cadastre. The result is a "legal cadastre" combining the
land registry (legal tool) and the land cadastre (technical tool) into the only
instrument administered solely by survey authorities. This solution was
accepted as the easiest in the circumstances. During years 1991 and 1992 new
basic cadastral legislation was prepared and came into effect at the beginning
of 1993.
Thus, January 1, 1993 is a milestone in the long history of
the land cadastre in the Czech Republic and the beginning of the cadastral
reform.
2. CADASTRAL REFORM (1993)
The governmental program of massive restitution and
privatisation of property needed a reliable and smoothly working cadastre. The
existing defective cadastre was not able to meet the demands. It was necessary
first of all to strengthen the legal part of the cadastre to be able to serve as
an effective tool of economy and right, and to improve substantially the
performance of the cadastre.
The main requirement for the new cadastre was to give
permanently and promptly the complete and legally valid information about land
and rights :
- to give a certain level of guaranties to owners and creditors,
- to involve real property capital into economy,
- to facilitate transactions with land,
- to define boundaries of individual plots of land,
- to serve as a tool for tax purposes of the state,
- to serve as a tool for land management,
- to enable easy access of the public.
To ensure continuity needed, it was necessary to start with
the data of the existing cadastre. The existing defections forced us to involve
some temporary provisions into the new cadastre. Generally, we started with the
existing cadastral maps, existing cadastral data and files, and with existing
software, but with the new cadastral legislation. The new cadastral legislation
needed a quite new approach to the cadastral data and processes. Several series
of vocational training on all levels were prepared and carried out beforehand.
The vocational training of employees continued, especially in the branch of law,
and for new employees involved into cadastral works.
The cadastral maps cover all the territory of the state.
About 30 % of area (all towns and more active areas) was covered by modern and
accurate maps at scale 1:1000 or 1:2000 (m.s.e. ±
14 cm or ± 26 cm respectively) with
co-ordinates or possibility to calculate them from the original data measured.
The rest of area was covered by the old cadastral maps at the historical scale
1: 2880 (measuring table method). All the maps had been re-drawn on plastic
foils.
The descriptive cadastral data (about parcels, owners and
their addresses) had been converted into computer files except detailed data
about legal information (so called „owner’s folios", which were
hand-written in standardised forms including references to the title).
The above mentioned cadastral data were, according to the new
legislation, considered as the data of the new cadastre. Since some individual
parcels of different owners amalgamated into huge blocks of agriculture or
forest land were not represented in the current maps (and were hidden under the
parcel number of the whole block), it was necessary to accept provisionally the
„simplified records" of such „missing parcels", which were defined
with the help of maps of the previous cadastre (boundaries and parcel numbers
from the previous land cadastre). There were about 8 million of those parcels
registered in the owner’s folios according to the previous cadastre parcel
numbers.
During 1993 the government approved the long-term
cadastral conception, which covered the most important tasks of the further
improvement of the cadastre including the higher level of computerisation (digitisation
of the „owner’s folios" and cadastral maps), completing „missing
parcels" into the maps, and improving access to the cadastral data.
3. NEW CADASTRAL LEGISLATION
The purpose of land registration and cadastre itself is so
tightly connected with law, that the legislation in this sphere should be
considered as immensely important. Legal framework of land registry and cadastre
is not only the base for all the activities in this field but it is even a part
of its final result.
The new basic cadastral legislation consists of the following laws and
regulations:
- Law No 264/1992 (changes and amendments to the Civil Code and some
other laws),
- Land Registration Act
No 265/1992 (amended in 1996),
- Cadastral Law
No 344/1992 (amended in 1996),
- Survey and Cadastral Administration Act
No 359/1992,
- Cadastral Regulations
No 126/1993 (since 1996
new, No 190/1996),
- Survey Act
No 200/1994,
- Survey Regulations
No 31/1995.
The Civil Code was completed with provisions about
acquisition and conveyance of real estate property and about the origin of other
rights on the base of agreement. Such agreement does not come into effect until
the entry (registration) of the agreement into the cadastre is done. Similar
amendments were completed into the Commercial Code and some other special laws
dealing this problem in connection with privatisation and restitution process.
This solution enables the cadastre to be complete and owners to be known to the
public.
The Land Registration Act first of all determines what
rights in real estate are registered in the cadastre. They are: ownership
rights, mortgage, rights corresponding to easement, right of first refusal
having effect of right in rem, and other rights as far as they are created as
rights in rem.
There are three types of registration in the cadastre:
- registration by entry,
- registration by record,
- registration by annotation,
- and their deletion.
The registration by entry into the cadastre is
needed for the all rights based on agreement. These rights originate, change or
extinct by entry into the cadastre. The entry into the cadastre and its deletion
is possible only on the basis of positive decision made by Cadastral Office
according to the Public Administration Act. The legal consequences of the entry
into the cadastre start with retroactive effect from the day of delivery of the
entry petition to the Cadastral Office.
The Cadastral Office initiates proceedings at a petition of participant of
agreement or other competent person. Deeds shall be examined from the point of:
- right of disposal to the object in the agreement,
- whether the form of the legal act meets legal requirements,
- whether the contractual acts of participants are sufficiently certain and
intelligible,
- and whether the contractual freedom is not restricted.
If the deed complies the conditions the Cadastral Office will
make decision permitting the entry. Otherwise it refuses the entry. The negative
decision shall be delivered to all participant. The parties have the right to
appeal against the negative decision to Court.
The rights originated, changed or extinct not from agreement
but from a law, by decision of a public authority, by knock down in a public
auction, by obtaining on prescription, by accrual and by working out, are registered
in the cadastre by record on the base of the deeds proving this
facts according the law. In principle, the public deeds are needed for the
records of rights into the cadastre. There is a duty for the all public
authorities and the others to send such deed to the appurtenant Cadastral Office
within thirty days to carry out the record. Unlike the entry, the Cadastral
Office does not examine such deeds, it only finds whether there are no mistakes
in writing and calculation or other evident incorrectness. If the deed is not
able for record, the Cadastral Office will send the deed back.
The annotation is used for registration of some
important legal facts or relations concerning to the real estate or person.
According to the law an announcement of execution, bankruptcy, or expropriation
by Court or other public authority is registered by annotation. The annotation
shall be made as well in cases when the legal relation is to be determined by
Court.
The person who acts on the base of the data registered in the
cadastre according to this law acts in good faith (bona fide) that the
facts registered in the cadastre correspond to the real state of affairs. Even
the records registered in the previous cadastre (until the end of 1992) prove
the truth of registered facts until the contrary is proved.
The cadastre is open to the public. Everyone has the right to
have a look into the cadastre and make copies or extracts about legal
information.
The Cadastral Law defines the Land Cadastre of the Czech
Republic, its content, cadastral documentation, and administration of the
cadastre.
The objects of the cadastre are:
- Cadastral units (usauly one cadstral unit covers a smaller municipality
area),
- Plots of land (sorted according to the following types: arable land,
hop-fields, vine-yards, gardens, orchards, meadows, pastures, wood-lands,
water areas, build-up areas, and others),
- Buildings connected with the land by solid foundations (according to the
Civil Code the real estates are land and such buildings),
- Flats and other rooms (only in descriptive data),
- Legal relations to real estates.
The cadastre contents:
- Geometric determination and positional determination of real estates,
- Parcel numbers, types and areas of plots, building numbers, selected
information about preservation and exploitation of real estate, tax
information, and key identifiers enabling mutual data interchange with other
information systems,
- Information about legal relations (registration of titles) including data
about owners, joint-owners and others in right and their postal addresses,
- Data about minor geodetic control,
- Place and local names.
The law regulates in details the administration of the
cadastre, especially the proceedings of registration, the proceedings in
correction of errors and omissions, and verifying of copies from the collection
of deeds of the current and even from the historical land cadastre and the land
registry.
All the administration activities in the cadastre are ruled
by the Public Administration Act if there are no special provision in the Land
Registration Act or in the Cadastral Law.
The law determines conditions and processing of the new
cadastral mapping, methods of searching boundaries, solving of appeals against
the results of new mapping, and announcing the legal validity of the new
cadastral documentation.
There are significant provisions here about carrying out
surveys, especially about the sub-division plans. The sub-division plan is an
inseparable part of deeds for registration in the cadastre. The plan shall be
authorised that it meets all the requirements of regulations valid and the
numbering of parcel shall be verified by the Cadastral Office to be
corresponding to the cadastre.
According to the law the cadastral data: name and geometric
determination of cadastral unit, parcel number, geometric determination of
property, are strictly obligatory in the all legal acts concerning real estates.
On contrary, the parcel area is defined as a result of its boundaries and this
information has no legal consequences.
All the cadastre documentation is open to the public and
everybody has the right to have a look into them and make copies, extracts and
sketches for one's personal use. The Cadastral Office shall make copies and
extracts from the cadastre on request. The copies, extracts and identifications
of parcels (comparison of identity of the old and new parcels, if possible) made
by the Cadastral Office are public deeds.
The law also charges owners, municipalities and public
administration with some duties. There is a duty to mark out the boundaries, to
submit deeds, etc.
The continuity with the previous cadastre needed is secured
by provision that the documentation of the previous cadastre (until 1992) is
considered to be the cadastral documentation according to this law. Similarly,
the real estates are registered in the cadastre according to the previous
regulations, until they are touched by changes during time of the validity of
this new law.
The Survey and Cadastral Administration Act institutes
survey and cadastral authorities and delimitates their competencies. The supreme
administration body, submitted directly to the Government, is the Czech Office
for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre. On the level of regions Survey and
Cadastral Inspectorates were created. On district level Cadastral Offices were
instituted as the executive authorities. They are subordinated directly to the
Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre.
The Cadastral Regulations amplify and specify provisions
of the Land Registration Act and the Cadastral Law, set down details of content
and administration of the cadastre and specify the basic technical aspects.
Extensive appendices cover nearly all the technicalities of the cadastre (e.g.
methods of survey and their processing, accuracy parameters, working out of
sub-division plan, system of codes used, extracts from technical standards,
examples and specimens of outputs, etc.).
The Survey Act determines and defines survey activities,
rights and duties in carrying out the survey activities, verifying of the
results of survey activities, and as well deals with the geodetic datum and the
state map series.
The survey activities shall be carried out by qualified
persons with completed education in surveying. The results of survey activities
used for administration and maintenance of the cadastre and for the state map
series shall be verified by authorised person that they meet the demands of
accuracy and correspond to the legal regulations. The results used in building
industry shall be verified similarly. The law determines in details the
conditions and proceedings of giving authorisation, and the rights, duties and
responsibility of authorised persons.
4. LONG-TERM CADASTRAL CONCEPTION
The difficult work on the conception of the further
development of cadastre was crowned by acceptation of The Conception of
Digitisation of the Cadastre by the government at the end of 1993. This very
important act represented not only the approval of priorities, but also the
financing of the whole project reaching to the year 2006. The Conception
established the main priorities as follows:
- completing PC-LAN in cadastral offices in 1994
- digitisation of owner’s folios (incl. completing with missing parcels) -
1998
- completing with data about soil quality - 1998
- completing of identifiers (personal number, company registration number) -
1998
- densification of minor geodetic control (according to the needs of land
consolidation)
- digitisation of the newer cadastral maps (incl. completing with missing
parcels) - 2000
- digitisation of graphical maps 1:2880 (incl. completing with missing
parcels) - 2006
- gradual transition of the cadastre to the higher level of information
technology.
The Conception corresponds with the main requirements of the
cadastral legislation, meets the needs of state information system, creates the
conditions needed for the land consolidation programme, and supports wide
development of GIS. The Conception considers also the issues of personnel and
their education, and the financing of the whole programme.
5. COMPUTERISATION OF THE CADASTRE
The computerisation of the cadastre is the main way known how
to increase its efficiency. But it needs investments and time to data
conversion. In conditions of massive restitution and privatisation and general
pressure on cadastral data it was necessary to weigh carefully the priorities in
the whole computerisation process and to prefer the steps which would bring the
optimal effect in time, quantity and quality.
The computerisation of the previous cadastre started in
sixties, from the beginning on punch-card computers (first numerical only, later
alphanumeric) and continued on mainframes. The computers (located in several
centres) were used first of all as a tool for the renewal of the descriptive
data files and for geodetic calculation and drawing maps. But the cadastre
itself in the cadastral offices was updated simultaneously by hand. Only wide
accessibility of PC enabled the cadastral offices to start with the full use of
the advantages of computerisation in everyday work. The implementation of PC LAN
in cadastral offices started a new epoch in the automation of cadastre.
In 1994 the last cadastral offices were equipped with PC LAN
and the supplies of efficient work-stations for computer graphics started.
Support within the PHARE scheme was very helpful and accelerated the whole
process significantly. Beforehand modified basic cadastral software and the
existing data files enabled to start with the current work. The central
mainframe in the Land Survey Office was connected with PC LANs of the cadastral
offices by means of telephone lines and started to serve as a central database
(from the beginning as a backup database).
Beside the current work, the program of systematic
digitisation of the last hand-written documents - „owner’s folios" -
started. Simultaneously, the digitisation of cadastral maps with known or
possible to calculate co-ordinates started. The data transfer standards and the
data structure of the cadastre files and digital cadastral map were fixed. Since
the modified former software couldn’t meet the future requirements, the work
on the cadastral software of new generation started.
6. PRESENT STATE OF THE CADASTRE
The Cadastre of Real Estate of the Czech Republic combines
the former Land cadastre and the Land Registry and creates united instrument of
economy and right administrated solely by survey authorities.
The supreme administration body, submitted directly to the
Government, is the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre. On the
regional level there are 7 Survey and Cadastral Inspectorates. On district level
there are 77 Cadastral Offices as the executive authorities subordinated to the
Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre. In addition, there are 2
special institutions: the Land Survey Office, and the Research Institute of
Geodesy, Topography and Cartography. The total number of employees is 5.734
(5.208 employees in Cadastral Offices). The structure of employees is as
follows: graduate technicians 18 %, graduate lawyers 5 %, technicians with
technical college certificate 59 %, others 18 %. The employees are trained in
accordance with the conception of vocational education and training.
The cadastre covers all the territory of the state. It
comprises 21,325 million parcels, and the data about 6,784 million owners on
4,103 million owner’s folios, arranged in 13.078 cadastral units.
The descriptive cadastral data are fully digitised and kept
in computer form (this extremely difficult task, added to the current work, was
finished in 1998). The task included not only a simple conversion of the rest of
legal data, but also completing of missing parcels, missing references to titles
and missing identifiers, involving national environment into records, and some
other improvements like data restructuring, etc.
On the request of the Ministry of Agriculture the cadastre
has been completed with the soil quality data of agriculture land. Even if the
proclaimed aim (taxation) is rather problematic, the data may be useful in
protection of environment and can support the valuation of agriculture land.
The all cadastral offices are sufficiently equipped with PC
LAN and are connected by WAN with the Central Database in the Land Survey
Office, which is able to supply the descriptive cadastral data all over the
state on request.
The completing of „missing parcels" into the current
cadastral maps was put off till their digitisation, which will enable to do it
more effective and accurate. A part of cadastral maps was over-worked into the
form of the digital cadastral map kept now in computers The proper technology of
over-working and updating maps has been verified sufficiently, so that the
over-working of maps will continue in great progress.
In 1997 intensive work on a new all-embracing cadastral
software started. Due to some delay in solution the first results has been
tested and are implementing just now. The new solution of the Information System
of the Cadastre suppose substantial raise of efficiency, improvements in data
security and better access to the cadastral data, including remote access of
competent users.
7. ENHANCED CADASTRAL SYSTEM
Due to an international consultant help (first of all within
PHARE scheme) the key questions about reliability of cadastral data, improvement
of its function within the state information system and its future financing are
widely discussed now.
The digitisation of the cadastre and the new software with
WAN enables remote access to cadastral data, both descriptive and graphic. It
gives good prerequisite for building enhanced cadastral sytem which can offer
more reliable, quicker and wider cadastral services. Questions about rising
guaranties to owners and creditors, more effective involvement into land and
building taxation, improved land administration, and better support of land
market are discussed. Since improved services require high initial investment,
the questions of future financing are solved as well. A new system of payment
for services, especially for remote access, covering at least current cost is
considered.
A wide open forum „NEMOFORUM" has been
established which comprises main users of cadastral data both from private and
public sector.
8. CONCLUSION
The solution of the cadastre, uniting land cadastre and land
registry into one instrument - „legal cadastre" - administered by
surveying authorities, has stood the test of time. The making decision about
entry into the cadastre by survey authorities according to the Public
Administration Act (instead of decision of the Court) in connection with the
possibility to appeal to the independent Court, is simple and proved to be much
more quicker, more effective, and taking care of the rights of persons
sufficiently. Beside that, it simplify the dealing with the complicated
technicalities of developing cadastre in a substantial way.
After seven years of the cadastral reform it is possible to
state:
- The new cadastre works reliably and has even stood the severe test of
massive restitution and privatisation.
- The cadastral legislation has proved to be relatively good and is, step by
step, improved on the base of experience and newly opened requirements of
information technology.
- The cadastral offices are equipped with local databases and are connected
to the Central Database by WAN.
- The cadastral offices are equipped with qualified personnel being able to
cope even with the tasks of future development. There is the conception of
continuous vocational education and training.
- There is the long-term cadastral conception approved by the Government,
which is, step by step, fulfilled (both tasks and conditions needed,
including financing).
- The descriptive cadastral data are fully digitised.
- The digitisation of cadastral map is in progress (nearly 20 % of area
finished).
- Quite new cadastral software of new generation have been tested and is
under implementation.
Due to the international help within the PHARE scheme, from
the Swiss Government, and co-operation with institutions and companies from
abroad, it was possible to accelerate the whole project considerably. It seems
that all we need now is some twenty years of political and economical stability.
