Free registration ends at the end of September The deadline for completing georeferencing free of charge through BUPi is 30 September . The extension was established by Decree-Law no. 87/2026, of 15 April, which also introduced changes to the procedures of the simplified cadastral information system. Until then, procedures concerning rural or mixed-use plots with an area of up to 50 hectares remain free of charge. From 1 October, each Georeferenced Graphic Representation (RGG) will cost €15 up to the ninth registration and €10 from the tenth representation onwards. RGG becomes necessary for some forms of support The legislation also establishes that applications for certain financial support schemes, including European and national funds, concerning rural or mixed-use plots must include an RGG. The new framework also provides for procedures relating to administrative conciliation, property registration and the identification of land whose legal status has not been regularised. Owners of rural land registered with the Tax and Customs Authority but without a current registration of acquisition, ownership or possession may be notified to regularise the situation, obtain the respective RGG or identify the propertys owner.
