Ganghwa County Completes Cadastral Survey Project for Maeum Districts 2-3

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 1st that it has completed the cadastral survey project for Maeum District 2 and Maeum District 3 in Samsan-myeon and has prepared new cadastral records.

The cadastral survey project is a national project that investigates and surveys non-matching properties where actual land conditions do not align with cadastral records, reorganizes the cadastral records based on actual conditions, and constructs paper cadastral maps created during the Japanese colonial period into digital form.

The county began with the designation of project districts in May 2018 for Maeum Districts 2 and 3, conducted cadastral survey measurements through consultations with landowners. After collecting opinions from landowners and going through objection applications and boundary determination committee reviews, the county newly established boundaries for 743 parcels covering 1,451,306.9 square meters and prepared new cadastral records including land ledgers and cadastral maps.

In the future, the county plans to organize related documents such as registration certificates and land use plan confirmation documents, conduct appraisals for lands with area changes from the cadastral survey project, and collect and distribute adjustment payments to landowners.

The project has resolved boundary disputes caused by buildings and fence encroachments and straightened land boundaries.

Additionally, the county registered public road conditions such as village lanes as county-owned roads, eliminating landlocked properties and increasing land utilization value while guaranteeing residents' property rights.

In particular, the county has alleviated residents' economic burden by reorganizing cadastral records without costs such as survey fees, acquisition taxes, capital gains taxes, and registration fees.

Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho stated, "I deeply appreciate all residents who actively cooperated to ensure the cadastral survey project was completed smoothly," and added, "Going forward, to guarantee residents' property rights and resolve inconveniences in exercising property rights for the development of a prosperous Ganghwa, we will actively promote the cadastral survey project."

Meanwhile, the county has completed 11 project districts since 2013, including the Maeum Districts 2 and 3 completed this time. This year, the county is promoting Changri District 1, Seokmo District 1, and Maeum District 4.
