Digital cadastre and faster services - Investment Council Recommendations: Bring transparency and ease for business
The Investment Council's recommendations for reforming the property system are taking concrete form through a series of measures undertaken by the State Cadastre Agency. One of the main recommendations has been the construction of a consolidated and contemporary vision for property registration, oriented towards supporting private investment, accompanied by an action plan for digitalization and reducing corrupt practices. In this context, the Digitalization Roadmap 2025–2028 has been approved, which sets out concrete steps for the transformation of the cadastral system according to EU standards.
Another important recommendation is related to the full digitalization of property data and increased transparency. Currently, the document scanning process has been completed and about 80% of property cards have been digitized, while services are gradually moving online through the e-Albania platform.
The Investment Council has also recommended the creation of a fast-track line for business, especially for the financial sector. This recommendation has been reflected through the “FAST” service, which enables the processing of applications for property documents within 24 hours. Another key point has been the acceleration of the registration of state property through a priority list. In implementation of this recommendation, priority properties have been identified and the first two phases have been completed with about 800 registered properties, while the process continues with the third phase.
It has also been recommended to ease the financial burden and eliminate administrative obstacles for local governments. To this end, reduced fees have been set for local self-government units, encouraging the acceleration of property registration. Overall, these measures show that the recommendations of the Investment Council have not remained just on paper, but are being translated into concrete steps towards a more transparent, efficient and investor-friendly system.
