About this procedure
The cédula catastral, also called ficha catastral, is like your property's national ID card: it's the document issued by the city hall's catastro (municipal property records) office, and it holds the property's official technical data: its location, boundaries, measurements and catastro number. It's an essential requirement for selling, because the registry won't record a sale without it, and it's also the basis the city hall uses to calculate property tax. Many sales stall right here, because the cédula catastral has expired, is out of date or simply was never obtained, and you have to go to the catastro office, submit documents and wait on the municipality's timelines. We handle it for you: we gather your property's documents, file the request with your municipality's catastro office and hand you the updated cédula catastral, ready for your sale. Your property's official identity, without losing mornings at the city hall.
