BUPi — Balcão Único do Prédio, "one-stop shop for property"
A state platform where the owner of a rural or mixed plot marks its boundaries on a map and then registers it with the land registry. It was set up for municipalities that have no cadastre; the offices (balcões) operate at the câmaras, and part of the process can be done online. Until 30 September 2026 both mapping the plot and entering it in the registry were free.
Where you come across it. Registering an inherited or purchased plot in a village, a boundary dispute with a neighbour, selling land that has no description in the registry.
Check the BUPi website for which municipalities are covered and for the office addresses: where there is a cadastre, the procedure is different.
