The Real Estate Cadastre is a collection of data from the survey, the cadastre classification of land and of the registered real estate rights. The survey and the real estate cadastre also comprises the changes that have occurred on the real estate and real estate rights that have occurred after the survey, i.e. after the establishment of the real estate cadastre (maintenance of survey and real estate cadastre).
Real estate is: land, buildings, auxiliary building parts and other objects built on the land.
The Real Estate Cadastre is for commercial, scientific, management, statistical, tax and urban needs and use, for the protection of real estate rights, the preparation of specific records of real estate and for other needs of state bodies and other institutions, companies, other legal persons and the citizens.
With the survey of real estate, there is data provided for the horizontal and vertical presentation of land and other data related to the land, data for the buildings, data for the auxiliary building parts and other objects and for the beneficiaries of the real estate rights on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia.

Following the survey, there is cadastral classification of the land, registration of real estate rights and the establishment of the real estate cadastre.
In the real estate cadastre the following rights are registered: the right of ownership, material and personal easements, encumbrances and other rights for which registration is proscribed by law. The registration of real estate rights in the real estate cadastre is compulsory and is done ex officio or at the request of the client.
