Some real estate documents, especially old ones, do not contain information about the cadastral number of the property. Meanwhile, information about the cadastral number is needed not only by owners, but also by buyers who want to verify the legal purity of the transaction, as well as by representatives of the administration, the chairman of the horticulture, employees of the management company... Knowledge of the unique number is necessary for quickly and accurately obtaining information about the property, request and checking information, correct execution of documents, etc. Let's consider how to find out the cadastral number at the address of a property.
What does a cadastral number look like?
The structure of the cadastral number is XX:XX:XXXXXXX:XX – there are always three separators in the form of a colon. Any other combination of characters that is different in structure is a conditional number. The conventional number has more digits, and they are separated not only by a colon, but also by a fractional line or a hyphen.
| XX | county registration number | 77 – Moscow; 50 – Moscow region; 90 – Republic of Crimea |
| XX:XX | district number in the county | 50:20 – Odintsovo district, Moscow region; 77:01 – Central district of Moscow |
| XX:XX:XXXXXXX | cadastral block designation | 77:01:0001011 |
| XX:XX:XXXXXXX:XX | cadastral number, or serial number of the property in the cadastral quarter | 77:01:0001011:1164 |
Several real estate objects can have the same address, and a unique number allows you to identify the desired object with one hundred percent probability. Once assigned, the cadastral number does not change.

What is a conditional cadastral number of a property?
What it is? The conventional cadastral registration number is a method of marking the unique location and characteristics of unique real estate objects within the framework of a universalized registration system throughout the Russian Federation, and previously at the local level.
Until the entry into force of the law on cadastre and cartography (Federal Law 221) in March 2008, the responsibilities for state registration of real estate were performed by the BTI bodies, and cadastre numbering was the responsibility of land management committees and committees responsible for land resources.
In the current conditions, the principles for the formation of numbering according to the cadastre included the following positions, encrypted as numerical segments:
- cadastre identifier for land plots;
- for buildings - inventory or serial numbers;
- for apartments and other premises - serial designation.
During the reform, according to Federal Law 221, the duties of registering rights to real estate and cadastral registration were transferred to the bodies of Rosreestr, cadastral registration of land and buildings was suspended. Instead of cadastral registration, from 2008 to 2012, conventional number designations were assigned.
Since 2012, after the transfer of information on real estate to the database of the Cadastral Chamber, the assignment of number markers according to the cadastre began to occur under the jurisdiction of Rosreestr, most positions in the database were changed from conditional to cadastral numbers, the procedure took place automatically, however, some buildings and plots of land, as well as individual premises, may not yet be taken into account.
That is, a conditional number is a legitimate, outdated form of unique identification of real estate , which has been replaced by centralized principles of marking according to the cadastre by Rosreestr.
The concept of conditional numbering was formed earlier than 2008, on the basis of the 1997 Federal Law on state registration of rights to real estate.
To get a complete picture of how the state real estate cadastre works, we have prepared useful articles for you. We advise you to read information about the principles of the State Property Committee and the composition of information included in the cadastre.
An instruction was drawn up, which noted that conventional number designations are assigned to land or buildings that do not have a cadastral identifier.
