You can check your Greek property in the Hellenic Cadastre (Ktimatologio) from anywhere, using your Taxisnet credentials on gov.gr’s “My Properties in the Cadastre” service. It shows your registered rights and property details for areas where the Cadastre is operational.
If a property does not appear, investigate the reason. A missing search result is not, by itself, proof that you have lost ownership.
Ktimatologio and KAEK explained
The Ktimatologio (Κτηματολόγιο) is the Hellenic Cadastre, Greece’s national land registry, which records legal ownership and the geometric details of properties, including boundaries, area and position. It is a different system from AADE’s tax records, run by a different authority.
Every property registered in the Cadastre has a unique identifier called a KAEK (Κωδικός Αριθμός Εθνικού Κτηματολογίου, National Cadastre Code Number). It functions as the property’s reference number within the system, similar in spirit to how an AFM identifies a taxpayer.
You will need it, or be able to find it, for many Cadastre-related dealings, including work involving an engineer or notary.
Which official service applies to your area?
Cadastre coverage in Greece is not uniform. Gov.gr’s “My Properties in the Cadastre” service is intended for registered properties in areas where the Cadastre is operational.
A property in an area not yet fully incorporated into the operational Cadastre may not show up there even if your ownership is recorded elsewhere.
If your property does not appear and you are unsure whether your area is covered, that is one of the first things to check before assuming anything is wrong with your own records.
What to have ready before logging in
Before you start, have the following ready:
- Your Taxisnet username and password. The official service uses your existing Taxisnet credentials. You do not create a separate Cadastre login.
- Your AFM, or Greek tax number. The property record needs to be correctly associated with your AFM.
- Any existing property documents. These might include your purchase contract, inheritance deed or a previous Cadastre extract, so you have something to compare the online record against.
- The property’s KAEK, if you already have it. Look for it in previous Cadastre documents or notary paperwork. You can also view your registered properties through your login without knowing it beforehand.
If you need help accessing your credentials, see our guide to logging in to TAXIS and myAADE from abroad.
How to access and review your property records
There are two official starting points:
- Gov.gr’s “My Properties in the Cadastre.” Follow the service link, log in with Taxisnet and review the properties associated with your account.
- The Hellenic Cadastre’s own property-record e-service. This also uses Taxisnet credentials to access your registered property information.
These routes let you check the available online records without visiting a Cadastral Office in person, which is the main practical benefit for an owner abroad.
What to compare with your title and property details
Once you can see your record, check it against your own documents:
- Your name: Spelled correctly and matching your legal documents.
- The property address and description: Matching what is in your purchase or inheritance deed.
- The KAEK: Matching any existing reference you have on file.
- Area and boundaries: Consistent with the relevant title and survey documents, while recognising that a basic online check is not a technical survey.
A note on the E9
Your AADE E9 tax declaration, covered in our E9 and MIDA guide, is a separate system maintained by the tax authority for tax purposes.
It is not the Hellenic Cadastre’s legal land registry. The two should broadly agree, but one matching the other is not proof that either is correct. They are different records kept by different authorities, and a discrepancy needs investigation.
“Keeping the property documents organised makes remote ownership easier. If a record needs legal or technical correction, I would help the owner reach the right professional.”
Yanis, Founder of Home Watch Athens
Why a property may not appear
A missing search result is not, by itself, proof that you have lost ownership. Possible reasons to investigate include:
- A missing or incorrect AFM on the registered owner’s record. If your tax number is not correctly matched to the property record, it may not appear through your Taxisnet login.
- A declared right that was rejected during the registration process, for reasons that need to be investigated individually.
- The area not yet being under full Cadastre operation.
- A property recorded as “Unknown Owner.” This requires attention through the appropriate correction process.
The Hellenic Cadastre’s support guidance specifically explains that missing or incorrect AFM details can prevent a property from appearing in the online search. It also says that an “Unknown Owner” entry requires corrective action. support.ktimatologio.gr
The absence of a search result does not settle your ownership position. An “Unknown Owner” entry or rejected right should be investigated promptly with a qualified professional.
Who to contact about errors or unresolved records
What to do depends on what is wrong.
AFM mismatch or similar data error
For missing or incorrect AFM details, the Hellenic Cadastre’s guidance points to an Αίτηση Προδήλου Σφάλματος, or obvious-error application, with the competent Cadastral Office to update the record.
Geometric corrections: boundaries, area, shape or position
On 18 September 2026, the Hellenic Cadastre launched the metavoles platform for eligible geometric corrections.
An owner or authorised representative logs in with Taxisnet, submits the application and assigns the required work to an engineer and judicial bailiff. The engineer provides the geometric-change diagram; the bailiff handles required service of documents to affected parties. The platform supports tracking, objections and the decision process.
At launch, cases involving the Greek State, General Government bodies or properties recorded as “Unknown Owner” are excluded. This process concerns geometric corrections, rather than ownership transfers or broader title disputes. Supporting technical documentation is still required. ktimatologio.gr
“Unknown Owner” status or a rejected declared right
These require individual review and the appropriate correction procedure. Contact a Greek lawyer, who can work with the competent Cadastral Office and involve a notary where needed.

Home Watch Athens does not perform title searches, legal corrections or Cadastre certifications. What we can do is help members abroad keep property documents organised, flag discrepancies worth investigating and coordinate with the appropriate lawyer, notary or licensed engineer.
See our administrative representation page to discuss practical support for your property. Technical works and additional attendance require separately agreed scope. Home Watch Athens serves properties in Athens and Attica.
Last reviewed 1 October 2026. This is general guidance on checking your own Cadastre record, not legal advice. Capture your own screenshots and check the current menus, since the online services are updated periodically. For corrections or unresolved ownership matters, consult the appropriate qualified professional. Never share your Taxisnet password with anyone.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check the Cadastre from overseas?
Yes. The official online service can be accessed from abroad using your Taxisnet login.
Do I need Taxisnet credentials?
Yes. The official routes use your existing Taxisnet username and password rather than a separate Cadastre login.
Where can I find my KAEK?
Look in previous Cadastre documents or relevant notary paperwork. Once logged in, you can also find it alongside your property’s entry.
Why is my property missing from the results?
Possible reasons include a missing or incorrect AFM, an issue with the registration of your declared right, or the area not yet being covered by the operational service. A missing result does not, by itself, mean you have lost ownership.
Is the E9 tax record the same as the Cadastre?
No. The E9 is a separate AADE tax declaration. It should broadly agree with your Cadastre record, but matching the two does not prove either is correct.
Who should handle a correction or title issue?
It depends on the issue. An AFM error may require an obvious-error application to the competent Cadastral Office. Eligible geometric corrections can use the metavoles platform with the required professional involvement. Ownership or title issues should be reviewed by a Greek lawyer, with a notary involved where appropriate.
