Uses of the National Cadastral Certificate
The National Cadastral Certificate includes the physical, economic and legal information of a property and serves to know the nomenclature, owner or possessor of the same (information for public or private service companies), in addition to its appraisal, area and registration (useful information for registrars, notaries and urban curators).
It also serves to verify the information of the property with which the property taxes are settled (by the municipal mayors), the income statement (which is presented to the DIAN), among others.

The other certificates
The certificate on the mileage of the pipelines that cross the municipal jurisdictions is a document that calculates the length of the pipeline (in kilometers) through which hydrocarbons or gas are transported and the area it occupies in the municipalities. Those who request this information are mainly hydrocarbon operating companies. That certificate had a cost of $42,850 per kilometer calculated.
Likewise, the certificate of delimitation of areas of a reservoir or basin, is a document with which the area of hydroelectric projects is calculated for the transfer of economic resources to territorial entities or environmental authorities. Its value was $1,500 per calculated square kilometer of the area of the basin or reservoir. This certificate is requested by entities such as National Natural Parks, the country’s Autonomous Regional Corporations and hydroelectric operating companies.
