In short
The Italian cadastre lists property by the owner's tax code (codice fiscale). A search by person (visura per soggetto) gives the land and buildings registered to that code in one province, even if the person has died. With SPID or CIE it is free on the Agenzia delle Entrate website, for anyone's property. Without them, you can order it here: €4.90 a province, paid by card.
The free way, if you have SPID
Since 1 January 2025 (Legislative Decree 139/2024) cadastral searches are free online, for other people's property too, both by person and by plot. You log in to the reserved area of the Agenzia delle Entrate with SPID, the electronic identity card (CIE) or a national service card, and search by tax code. If you already have one of those, you do not need us to see what the cadastre has in your parents' or grandparents' name. Trento and Bolzano are not included: they keep their own cadastre.
What you need to order it here
- The person's tax code: the 16 characters on the Italian health card, the identity card, tax returns and deeds. For a company, its VAT number. A tax code can be worked out from the name, date and place of birth, but for people with the same details it sometimes differs: read it from a document if you can.
- The province: the cadastre is kept by province, and the search by person covers one province at a time, land and buildings together. If you do not know where to look, the search of the whole of Italy is free: from the tax code it tells you in which provinces there is property, and how much. Then each province is one search. Trento, Bolzano and the land book (tavolare) municipalities keep their own cadastre, and the search does not see them.
You pay by card, in euros, through Stripe, at the same price from every country. We do not promise a delivery time. The order page shows its real status, and if the source does not return the document, we refund you.
If the person has died
The cadastre changes the name only with a transfer (voltura) that follows the inheritance declaration (dichiarazione di successione). If nobody filed it, the property stays in the name of the person who died, often for decades, and the search by person finds it with their tax code. If it was filed, the property has passed to the heirs: search with each heir's tax code.
If you know the village but not the tax code
Then the search runs the other way. Find the house or the field on our map, free and without an account, where every plot has its number; with the municipality, sheet and plot number the cadastral record tells you whose name it is in. Family land in Italy explains the other ways to find a plot.
What it shows, and what it does not
For each property: the municipality, sheet, plot and unit number (subalterno), the category and cadastral income, the right held (full ownership, usufruct, bare ownership) and the share. It is the situation today, not the history. Like the cadastre itself, it does not prove ownership and says nothing about mortgages: those are in the land registry, and the document is the mortgage search, €24.90.
What comes next
The list is the first page of an inheritance: what there is, and in whose name. The inheritance declaration, the transfer and a power of attorney signed abroad are work for an Italian notary, an accountant or a patronato office, and we are none of those.
€4.90 a province, paid by card from any country.
