From address to parcel: what is the relationship?

Start with the address

Search by street, number and municipality, or by the 14-character cadastral reference that identifies the parcel. The address and the building are different objects from the parcel: one building can have several addresses and one parcel several buildings.

Read the card with care

The cadastral area and the area calculated from the boundary may differ. The construction year, floor area or number of homes are what the cadastre records, not the result of an inspection.

A cadastral parcel is a fiscal unit: it does not say who owns it. Ownership is recorded in the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad).

Check it at the official source

For any formal step, obtain the descriptive and graphic record or a certificate from the cadastre's online office (Sede Electrónica del Catastro).
