The Nicaraguan Institute for Territorial Studies (Ineter) authorized a series of increases in cadastral services and rates that, in some cases, reach up to 700%. At the same time, it created new charges that were not previously regulated.
The adjustment to cadastral services and rates was announced on Thursday, October 27, through the Administrative Resolution 125-2022published in La Gaceta, Official Gazette, in which Ineter justifies that since 2017 the National Cadastre Commission “has not varied or modified the amounts of the services” offered in the General Directorate of Physical Cadastre of Ineter.
“The amounts for cadastral services have remained unchanged in recent years, even when statistically they are below their real cost, which represents a higher operating expense and material costs for the institution,” says the Ineter resolution.
Among the services whose value was modified is the issuance of a Cadastral Certificate, a certificate of Cadastral Data, a special form, a certificate of Cadastral Data for replacement of the Registration Seat, review and approval of topographic plans for cadastral purposes, revalidation of topographic plans, revalidation of Certificate Cadastral, literal transcription for Seat replacement, Cadastral Maps, Cadastral Technical Report, Cadastral Technical Guarantee, and the process of Cadastral License.

When comparing the new authorized amounts with the previous prices, established in the Administrative Resolution 001-2017 of Ineter, the magnification is up to 700%. Proof of this is the cost of the new Cadastral License that went from 1,000 cordobas to 5,500 cordobas and its renewal varied from 500 cordobas to 3,600 cordobas.
Similarly, the Cadastral Technical Report went from 6,000 cordobas to 20,000 cordobas and the Cadastral Technical Guarantee went from 5,000 cordobas to 10,000 cordobas.
