The cadastral certificate in Caracas: how to apply in each municipality

The cadastral certificate identifies the property in the municipal cadastre: location, area and owner. The registry requires it to record a sale, and in several municipalities it is a prerequisite for the municipal tax clearance. If the owner has died, it is updated to the estate’s name with the inheritance tax return form.

Libertador and Sucre publish the list for the online procedure. They are uploaded as PDFs:

• The registered title deed.
• The owner’s current ID card and RIF.
• The previous cadastral certificate, if there is one.
• If the property was inherited, the inheritance tax form and the RIF and ID card of the estate’s representative.
• In Libertador, also: a location sketch certified by the Cadastre for properties outside horizontal property, and SENIAT’s Main Home Registration if it applies.

If a company applies, add the company’s RIF, its legal representative’s RIF, the registered articles of incorporation and the minutes appointing the board of directors.

• Chacao: it is submitted at the Cadastre Office, in the Edificio Atrium, from 9 a.m., with Form C-01 for individuals or C-02 for companies, a copy of the owner’s ID card and the Miranda state revenue stamp. If someone else submits it, they bring an authorisation.
• Baruta: it is submitted at the Cadastre Office, in the Casco de Baruta or the Torre Humboldt. The ordinance requires you to be up to date with all municipal taxes and services before it is issued, not only the property tax.
• El Hatillo: you apply at SUHAT’s virtual office, at elhatillo.net.ve/appweb. Before starting, the system checks that the fee, every quarter of the tax and the Miranda state stamp are paid. The certificate arrives as a PDF with a QR code.
