One of Greece’s most ambitious digital initiatives, aimed at improving property management and transparency, is the creation of the Unified Property Registry (EMA).

This integrated electronic system gathers and displays all information regarding real estate in Greece: legal, planning, administrative, forestry, tax, and energy, all within one platform.

A single point of access

The EMA’s core philosophy is to unify information that was previously scattered across multiple registries and public databases, offering citizens and professionals easy and secure access.

Developed through the national gov.gr portal, the EMA acts as an interoperability platform, drawing data from all related public sources. Citizens will be able to see details of their properties, while professionals such as lawyers, notaries, and engineers will have access to reliable, up-to-date data to carry out their work more efficiently.

Benefits

The system will:

Reduce administrative costs by eliminating repetitive certificate requests.

Ensure secure digital processes.

Increase the safety and efficiency of transactions by offering access to official, updated data.

Minimise fraud and errors.

Enhance transparency while respecting GDPR data protection standards.

Strategic impact

The registry also supports public asset management, tax compliance, and policy planning. By cross-referencing property and tax data, it helps combat tax evasion and illegal land occupation. Importantly, citizens will not need to re-enter their property details; the system will automatically retrieve information via interoperable databases, using the existing cadastral ID (KAΕK) as the unique identifier.

Currently at the stage of evaluating tenders, the EMA is expected to be fully operational by June 2026. Its infrastructure is based on advanced business intelligence tools and automated processes, ensuring both speed and accuracy.

Link with tax tools

The EMA will connect with AADE’s MIDA (Private Property Management Registry), which cross-checks tax data (E2, E9 forms) with the KAΕK to verify ownership, usage, and tax status. While MIDA focuses on internal tax management, EMA integrates and presents all this data, creating a comprehensive and transparent map of Greece’s real estate.
