Why Georgian Cadastral Code Records Matter for Property Buyers
As a potential property buyer in Georgia, you need to know what Georgian Cadastral Code records reveal about a property that you want to buy.

In general, Georgian Cadastral Code records have three key advantages. First, they provide information on who owns a particular piece of property. Secondly, they show which rights are associated with the property—this could include mortgages or other liens—and in what amounts. Lastly, they list any encumbrances against the property, such as legal restrictions or zoning regulations.

Check the Property Boundaries and Size
Have you ever wanted to know the exact boundaries and size of the property you want to buy? Thankfully, with Georgian Cadastral Code records, you can do just that. All official records for The Georgian Cadastral Code are kept by the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR).
By reviewing these official records, you can check that the boundaries and sizes of a property match what was described to you before signing any contracts.
Here’s what NAPR offers:
- Property sizes – including the total area, land area, and building area (if applicable)
- Property boundaries – based on the surrounding locations of each property
- Technical drawings – including plans that show a detailed picture of all amenities on the property
- Coordination statements – which help identify any changes in ownership or legal rights over time
Having access to these records is invaluable for buyers—not only will it give you peace of mind that a property matches what was advertised, but it can also help prevent any unwelcome surprises down the line.
Review Any Encumbrances or Legal Restrictions on the Property
If you want to buy a property in Georgia, it is very important that you research exactly what is registered against the property—what are called encumbrances or legal restrictions. These can be found in the Georgian Cadastral Code records.
Yes, researching legal documents isn’t everyone favorite thing to do, but it’s important if you want to avoid any surprises down the line. You need to ensure the property has nothing registered against it, such as a mortgage or other lien that could potentially be deemed more important than your own interest in a property.
To begin, you will need to register for an account at the GeoData portal for cadastral information. Once logged in, search for the address of the property you are interested in. When you have located the target property, click on ‘View details’ and scroll down to review any encumbrances or restrictions registered against the building or land parcel as part of its Georgian Cadastral Code records.
Should you find an encumbrance registered against a particular parcel of land, consult with lawyers and other professionals who can provide further guidance and clarity on what your next steps should be when deciding whether or not to purchase a particular piece of real estate in Georgia.
Verify the Property Owner and Tax Information
When researching a property you may be interested in buying, you’ll want to verify the owner’s name and details, as well as their tax information. And the Georgian Cadastral Code has the information you need.
It’s not just records of who owns what property, but also records of who is responsible for paying taxes on said properties. It’s important to have access to this information as a buyer, because if there are any outstanding taxes on the property, it could become your responsibility once the transaction is complete.
How To Access Georgian Cadastral Code Records
Fortunately, accessing these records is straightforward and requires two steps:
- Obtain an electronic copy of a special form (called “Form 308”) from the official web portal of The Georgian National Agency of Public Registry (or GNAPR).
- Fill out Form 308 and visit your local district office with identification documents in hand to request access to Cadastral Code records.
Once your Form 308 application is approved by a district officer, you will be able to access electronic copies of the requested cadastre codes and related documents directly from GSACRD’s or GNAPR’s website.
By verifying both ownership and taxation information for any given property before making a purchase, buyers can ensure that they are getting exactly what they pay for, avoiding potential legal issues later down the line.
