In application of tax and/or rental regulations, misterb&b is required to collect the cadastral data of properties located in certain jurisdictions. You can find below the list of jurisdictions where this is the case, and some helpful information to help you retrieve this cadastral information.
What is cadastral information?
A cadastre/land register is a comprehensive land recording system. It contains data about land parcels, boundaries and all immovable properties within them as defined by law. In a cadastre/land register, land parcels and/or immovable properties are assigned a given identifier.
This identifier is the information that misterb&b must collect in certain jurisdictions/situations. Please note the term for this identifier can vary according to the jurisdictions: land registration number, cadastral code, etc.
Why does misterb&b ask for my cadastral data?
In a growing number of jurisdictions, laws and regulations related to transactions reporting require digital platforms to collect cadastral information from their users and share it to local tax administrations (see this FAQ about tax information reporting by misterb&b).
Where to find the cadastral/land registration information of the property I rent out?
Please find below basic information to help you find the cadastral/land registration information of the property you rent out. Do not hesitate to contact your local city office for further information and help.
