Description

In recent years, the Land Register system has been strongly marked by the use of new technologies: Regional Law no. 4 of 14 August 1999 and the subsequent implementing regulation constitute the regulatory support for the project to computerise the Land Register, an ambitious idea of impressive scope whose innovation lies in the transfer of the complexity of the legal-land-register world onto the web.

The 'digital revolution' began with the procedure of uploading the inscriptions of the land registers into a computerised database : all the information on the legal status of real estate was thus transposed onto a technological support: it was not just a matter of creating a complex database but, and herein lies the absolute uniqueness of this project, of processing inscriptions that had been present in the paper system for more than a century and making them intelligible and compatible with computer tools.

The uploading operations of the entries in the land register were carried out separately for each cadastral municipality by an uploading commission coordinated by a Commissioner in the guise of a public official assisted by a secretary: at this stage, only 'current' entries were entered in the database, in fact, those 'not current or expired', but not formally cancelled, will remain only in the paper land registers. Every single project for a new computerised land register was subjected to a sample check by the Regional Review Commission at the Trento Court of Appeal. Only after the project was approved did the Court of Appeal determine by edict the day from which the cadastral municipality would be the 'new computerised land register'. From that day, the paper land registers, which had been put out of use, are stored in the relevant land registry offices and serve as historical archives.

At the end of loading operations in the twelve Tavolari offices in the province of Trento, a total of more than 448,000 lots were computerised.

Computerised Tavular Parcel

The Tavolar Parcel has the following structure
the header which contains

  • the identification data of the Partita (number, cadastral municipality, district)
  • any pending plots (provisional or definitive)
  • the indication of the last application processed with the computerised system

the A1 sheet showing
the list of the parcels contained in the Tavular Parcel;
thanks to the connection with the Land Registry database, the parcels are integrated with the cadastral data on cultivation, income (only for land parcels) and cadastral surface area.

isheet A2 shows:
the active easements and co-ownerships attached to the parcels recorded on sheet A1;
if the parcel is subdivided into material portions, it shows the description of the individual portions with the indication of the G.N. linked to the planimetric drawings relating to each portion.

sheet B showing
the names of the owners with the ownership shares and associated purchase titles;
each name may be linked to entries restricting the exercise of the right (orders of interdiction, incapacitation, bankruptcy, appointment of a support administrator), notations of summonses, conditional contracts, preliminary contracts, etc.

Sheet C which sets out
encumbrances on the property contained in the lot: mortgages, distraints, passive easements, usufruct rights, use, dwelling, civic uses, real charges, surface rights , long-term leases, allotment agreements, direct and/or indirect restrictions on artistic protection, etc.
