Two Centuries Without You: The lack of a true cadastre in Peru and its consequences

Abstract

Not much is talked about the lack of a - real - land cadastre in Peru, although much is said about the problems caused by its absence: delays in infrastructure projects, registry file overlaps, lack of territorial planning, low municipal tax collection, among others. This article intends to portray the country's cadastral situation, two centuries from its independence, and offer recommendations in order to be able to count with a real land cadastre.
