Meanwhile, 4.2 million property records have been digitised as part of efforts to modernise property registration services.

Lorena Goxhobelli, Director-General of the State Cadastre Agency, said the intensive work carried out this year aims to speed up the legalisation process and create a faster and more transparent property market.

According to Goxhobelli, the digitisation of 4.2 million property records is one of the key priorities in the modernisation of the Cadastre and is also linked to meeting commitments as part of Albania’s European integration process.

In 2026, the national project to digitise and geo-reference 38,000 physical cadastral maps also got under way. The initiative aims to improve the management of cadastral data and make services more accessible to citizens.

 

Initial property registration has reached 95.3% of the country’s territory, while the process of transferring agricultural land into private ownership has been extended to 59 villages, with around 1,000 applications set to be handled.

Goxhobelli stressed that, beyond the measurable results, another significant change concerns the way the Cadastre communicates with and provides services to citizens.

“We recently began a door-to-door process to address properties without ownership documentation. Cadastre teams are currently working in Himara and will continue operating across cadastral zones based on the needs identified,” she said.

According to Goxhobelli, the work carried out so far represents only part of the journey towards ensuring legally recognised property ownership.

“What we have achieved so far is only part of the journey ahead. The challenge is to advance the process of securing legal property ownership. The work continues with a clear objective: no property without documentation and no person left without an answer,” said the Director-General of the State Cadastre Agency.
