Planimetria catastale (floor plan)

In short

The planimetria catastale (cadastral floor plan) is the interior drawing of a property unit: rooms, measurements, heights, use of each room. Unlike the visura, not everyone can request it: only someone who holds a right over the property, or a delegate of theirs.

How to read a planimetria

It is not the estate agent's sketch: it is a filed technical drawing, to scale, with a title block carrying the cadastral data. And the measurements it gives are not the square metres you read in listings.

Reconstruction of a cadastral floor plan: the geometry is invented and does not reproduce any filed property. It shows where the seven things that matter are.
  1. 1The title block. Municipality, sheet, parcel and unit (subalterno): they say which property the drawing belongs to. If they do not match the visura, the problem is there.
  2. 2The walls. A thick line is a load-bearing or perimeter wall, a thin one a partition. They are the filed state, not necessarily today's.
  3. 3The room measurements. In metres, taken on the inside face. Adding them up does not give the floor area in the listing: that is measured another way.
  4. 4The scale. Normally 1:200, 1:100 for small units. It lets you measure on the drawing what has no dimension written on it.
  5. 5Balconies and appurtenances. Drawn but counted separately: an open balcony is not living area.
  6. 6North. It says how the house is oriented: which room gets the sun and which does not.
  7. 7Date and reference number of the filing. It is the date of the snapshot. If the works date from 2015 and this says 1998, the drawing is two renovations old.

Cadastral conformity and planning conformity

Cadastral conformity means that the filed floor plan matches how the property is built today: the notary checks it at the deed. Planning conformity means that this state was authorised: it is in the building permits held by the municipality. A house can be perfectly in line with the cadastre and still have a building irregularity.

How to get it · not from us

We cannot get this one for you

The Agenzia issues it only to the registered owner or their delegate, and the channel we use does not offer it. We would rather say so here than have you find out after paying.

Where to get it, then

The reserved area of the Agenzia delle Entrate with SPID or CIE, if you are the registered owner. Otherwise a written delegation is needed, and a surveyor or a notary takes it to the counter.
