Looking for tax debts, the title or plans?

This page shows cadastral data: the parcel's identity, areas and tax value. Debts, titles and plans are not shown here. Consult the following authorities:

Property title and plans

Title information is held at the Property Registry (Dirección General de Registros ); it is usually requested through a notary. Survey plans are held in the MTOP archive ; building plans are held by the departmental government.

INGAR does not handle these procedures or have access to those databases. Links to official websites checked on 22/09/2026.

How many cadastral parcels are there in Colonia?

The total counts parcels, not rows: a horizontal-property parcel can have several registered units. The 16 parcels with more than one regime are retained as mixed and are not forced into a single category.

What is the cadastral value in Colonia?

There is no single comparable figure across all regimes. Separate medians are therefore shown for standard ownership, PH/UH units and rural parcels. “Assessed value” and “tax value” are different fields in the DNC file, expressed in Uruguayan pesos.

PopulationMedian assessed valueMedian tax valueMedian area
Standard-ownership parcel$ 313,560 UYU$ 312,015 UYU501 m² of land
PH/UH unit$ 1,444,650 UYU$ 1,426,028 UYU51 built m²
Rural parcel$ 722,444 UYU$ 722,444 UYU15.13 ha

Cadastral values are a tax reference, not an estimate of the sale price. To compare them with asking-price data published from a single source, consult the INGAR Index; to assess a specific property, you can request an appraisal.

How are these parcels identified?

In urban areas, the parcel number is unambiguous only when combined with the department and cadastral locality. For rural parcels, department plus number is sufficient. INGAR preserves this distinction because national validation found urban numbers repeated across localities within the same department.

What happens if data is missing?

A parcel without a value is excluded from medians. A parcel without geometry may still be included in the alphanumeric total but will not appear on the map. Missing values are not replaced with zero. The methodology records these decisions and discrepancies between sources.
