Cadastre Committee seeks to resolve discrepancies in property address database

The Cadastre Committee has proposed amendments to the Law “On State Registration of Rights to Property” to resolve discrepancies in the property registration and addressing systems.

The amendments were presented at the Cabinet meeting on November 12 by Head of the Cadastre Committee Suren Tovmasyan.

“We began reviewing the mechanisms of the address assignment system and address database three years ago, and the national standard concerning addresses came into force in 2025. Based on this standard, address assignment decisions accumulated by the Cadastre Committee over the years have been integrated into a single unified system and brought into compliance with the national standard already in force. A total of 1.5 million addresses have been standardized and entered into the electronic system,” Tovmasyan said.

The official noted that the proposed amendments would make it possible to regulate cases where an address is missing or has certain deficiencies that make it impossible to identify the address indicated by a citizen.

“For example, when a citizen calls the ambulance service, we see numerous cases where the ambulance cannot find the specific address. This happens because one address is indicated in the property registration certificate, while in the electronic navigation system that address is placed on another property, and these discrepancies lead to problems,” he said.

Tovmasyan emphasized that the adoption of the amendments to the law would contribute to the finalization of address databases over the next few years.
