The real estate cadastre, understood as a public register and a legal institution, has since ancient times guaranteed legal certainty in property transactions and the implementation of fiscal objectives related to the collection of taxes. Over time, new tasks have been assigned to the cadastre. Reports published by international organizations such as the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) and the United Nations (UN) have revealed the shortcomings of existing legal systems in the management of land administration rights, restrictions and obligations. In this context, to the paper presents a polemic on the possibility of implementing a multidimensional cadastre in Poland and Slovakia. The most important milestones in the evolution of the land administration system in both countries were reviewed and the possibility of implementing layer ownership was discussed.
The aim of this publication is to conduct a comparative study with a view on research on the applicable legal regulations in the context of the possibility and legitimacy of the implementation of the multidimensional cadastre in both countries. The research method used is a case study. It was supported by an analysis of legislation in the above-mentioned scope and a field interview. The research carried out as part of the comparative study clearly indicates the legitimacy of introducing the registration of layer ownership. The type of legal systems in Poland and Slovakia will have a significant impact on the degree of complexity of the multidimensional cadastre implementation process.
