The Portuguese Government has approved the extension of the free-of-charge regime for acts related to the legal framework of the simplified land cadastre system

According to the Government’s official statement, following the meeting of the Council of Ministers held on 26 February 2026, a Decree-Law was approved amending the legal framework of the simplified cadastral information system and the Single Property Counter (Balcão Único do Prédio – BUPi).

Among other measures, the new legislation seeks to extend the exemption from fees for certain acts and to reinforce the operational implementation of the land cadastre within the scope of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).

Following its publication in the Diário da República, the CCSL Real Estate Team will carry out a detailed analysis of the full text of the Decree-Law, including its provisions on the entry into force of the new regime and any applicable transitional rules.
