5. Territorial administrative units – 264 municipalities
District boundaries
Municipality boundaries

6. Territorial units – settlement lands
Municipalities are subdivided into settlement lands;
Urbanized territory and surrounding agricultural and forest territories belonging to the settlement are located within its boundaries;
Every settlement has a unique code (EKATTE) from the Unified classifier of administrative-territorial units;
The immovable properties receive unique identifier formed within the boundaries of a settlement.

7. Data sources for creating cadastral map and cadastral registers
Data from digital map of the restored ownership of agricultural and forest lands
Data from previous cadastral, regulation or structural plans
The data that correspond by contents and precision the requirements determined by the CPR Act are combined for creating digital cadastral map and cadastral registers
Data for the owners and holders of other real rights, gathered from the registers to the maps and plans and the registers of the municipal and regional administration
Data gathered through geodetic, photogrametric and other measurments and calculations

8. Immovable properties, objects in the cadastre
Land property is the basic unit of the cadastre, it is a part of the surface of the earth, including durably covered with water, defined by boundaries compliant with the right of ownership. The land properties fully cover up the territory of the country, defined by the state borders, without overlapping each other.
Building, including also rough construction (building or structure which surrounding walls and roof have been made)
Self-contained object (SCO) in a building or in a facility of the technical infrastructure - part of the building or facility that has a self-dependent function and building with exposed walls. SCO can be an apartment, office, studio, garage, store, etc.
Each land property, building or self-contained object is attributed an identifier, a unique number by which the immovable property is singularly identified within the territory of the country.

9. The unique identifier of an land property in cadastre
Land property identifier
Boundary of a settlement territory with code EKATTE 06286
Cadastral region № 76 within the boundary of the settlement land
Land property № 20 within the boundary of the cadastral region
