Albania to merge Cadastre and Property Treatment agencies

property administration reform cadastre agency merger Albania property rights land registration Palasa field verification

The Albanian government is initiating a major reorganization of property administration. A new draft law proposes merging the State Cadastre Agency (ASHK) with the Property Treatment Agency (ATP) to form the State Property Agency (ASHP). This reform aims to eliminate legal gaps and administrative delays caused by fragmented competencies between the two current institutions.

The new agency will handle cadastral registration, state property inventory, legalization processes, and compensation for former owners. Key features of the reform include the creation of a unique national property map and a digitalized integrated system for private and state assets. The draft law also introduces a 45-day window for citizens to file complaints following the publication of property data and establishes financial penalties for administrative staff who cause delays or lose documentation.

In a separate but related operational move, the State Cadastre Agency has announced a door-to-door verification process for homes lacking ownership documentation. This field operation is set to begin in Palasa, where specialized teams will conduct on-site measurements and verify documents for one week to assist residents in regularizing their property status.
