What does cadastral layout mean?
The land registry office in Italy keeps records of building types, sizes, uses and location used for paying property taxes. This is a very important register and demonstrates who has legal title on the property. The supplementary graphic documentation is an archive is known as the catasto which unfortunately is frequently inaccurate and sometimes 2-3 years out of date. The cadastral layout is simply a reference map that formally identifies the property from an public administrative standpoint.
