Kadaster

Kadaster supports poverty reduction
Secure rights to land and buildings is a prerequisite for wellfare and prosperity. This is the main focus on the official celebration of Kadaster's 175 annversary, that takes place in the famous Hall of Knights in The Hague.
On Tuesday November 13th, national and international speakers will present their view on how the world might look at in 25 years from now. Her Majesty the Queen will be guest of honour.

Driven by its social responsibility, Kadaster aims at contributing to welfare and prosperity in countries where land administration still might develop further. Since about 15 years this international cooperation with countries who ask for help, evolves. At date, about 50 projects were implemented, in good coordination with the private- and public sector, and universities. The jubilee event will elaborate on the issue of poverty reduction, economic growth and land administration and its importance.

Kadaster registers and informs...
Kadaster, or the Dutch Land Registry Office, collects information about registered properties in the Netherlands, records them in public registers and in cadastral maps and makes this information available to members of the public, companies and other interested parties in society.
Registered goods include not only immoveable properties, such as houses and apartments, but also moveable properties such as ships and aircraft. Put simply: Kadaster registers and informs; details are the input and information is the output.

Self-administering state body
Registering, informing, maintaining records and usage planning have been the tasks of Kadaster since 1832. To enable Kadaster to better perform all of those tasks, it became what is known as a 'Self-Administering State Body' in 1994. This means that Kadaster is a legal entity under public law which performs its tasks as an independent organisation.
