Regulatory Decree No. 8/2026, of September 21, proceeds with the third amendment to the regulation of the legal framework of the Simplified Cadastral Information System and the Single Property Desk (“BUPi”).

This regulatory amendment follows the revision of the legal framework applicable to the Simplified Cadastral Information System and BUPi in April of this year, aiming to harmonize the rules applicable in this area.

Among the amendments introduced, the following stand out:

• The determination that the georeferenced graphic representation (“GGR”) now becomes a prior condition also for the new special procedure for the annexation of rural properties;
• The clarification of the situations in which a declaration from the owners of adjoining properties is required for the validation of theGGR, it now being sufficient that all polygons of the adjoining properties exist in BUPi without conflict of shared boundaries and, when any adjoining property is not susceptible to georeferencing, the submission of a declaration of acceptance by the respective owner;
• The reformulation of the administrative conciliation procedure, which may now be initiated ex officio or at the request of any interested party, with the admissibility of agreements relating to only some of the conflicting overlaps;
• The introduction of express deadlines, namely the deadline of 20 working days for validation of the GGR by the qualified technician in the GGR procedure and the deadline of 30 days for preliminary analysis of the documents by the registration service within the scope of the special registration procedure.

This decree enters into force on September 22, 2026.
