These are the settlements that still remain “white spots” on the cadastral map of the republic. They have not had time to fit into the Land Registration and Assessment Project, implemented under the Financing Agreement between Moldova and the International Development Association. It was signed back in 2018 with an implementation period of 5 years. But its implementation was greatly delayed and the deadline had to be pushed back another two years – until 2028.
The project is designed to separate the plots and objects belonging to the state and local authorities. Such delimitation gives a legal status to the property, which determines the possibility to use it for commercial purposes.
This process is important because it ensures more efficient management of public property, “highlights” the process of distribution, allocation and use of land. And most importantly, it increases the fiscal base for replenishment of own revenues of local public authorities of the first level.
Without such an inventory, city halls cannot officially lease vacant land and attract investors. A clear cadastre will exclude cases of land squatting and allow cities and villages to legally earn money on their property.
According to Ivan Daniy, director of the Agency of Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre, as the project is implemented, errors in cadastral documents will be corrected and state property will be fully registered.
A single transparent and legally significant registration of real estate objects is included in the Reform Program of the Growth Plan for Moldova.
