That is why it is important to know this assessed value in order to have a realistic estimate of a property\u2019s price.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next, we\u2019ll look at what this value is, how it\u2019s calculated, and why it\u2019s important when doing business with a ranch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cadastral value: What is it?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To understand the assessed value, we must first understand that the Cadastre refers to a general registry administered by the government, specifically by the Ministry of Finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This public agency is responsible for registering all real estate within the country. Each property is assigned a code and a valuation, which is what we refer to as the assessed value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each local government, in consultation with the Ministry of Finance, is responsible for adjusting the assessed value based on certain factors. These include the area\u2019s development and housing prices. As a result, this value may vary from year to year and depending on the local government.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Specifically, this adjustment is made at the beginning of each year.

The calculation is performed by the relevant administrative body, based on the criteria mentioned above. The Cadastral Office in each municipality has established several contact channels:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In person<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By phone (902 373 635)<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Through the online service (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catastro.meh.es\/esp\/sede.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online portal<\/a>)<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Regardless of the method chosen, you must provide your personal information and the property\u2019s cadastral reference number. This is a 20-digit code consisting of numbers and letters that serves as a unique identifier for each property. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another way to determine the assessed value is to use the property tax (IBI) as a starting point. In this case, we need to divide the annual property tax amount by the tax rate applied to real estate by each local government. For Alicante, the rate is 0.591% for urban properties and 0.30% for rural properties. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, for a home that pays \u20ac140 in property tax per year\u2014which, based on its location, corresponds to a tax rate of 0.591%\u2014its assessed value would be 140\/0.591% = \u20ac23,729.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The wide-ranging utility of the assessed value<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Registration of real estate with the Cadastre is mandatory and free of charge. This government regulation benefits both the state and property owners.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This appraisal serves as a reference when putting a home up for sale. Based on the calculation of the assessed value, the property is assigned a market value.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is important to keep in mind that the assessed value must be lower than the market value.
