The Cadastral Information Registry (RIC, Decree 41-2005) is the cadastral authority. Its original strategic plan foresaw surveying all 340 municipalities by 2025; in almost 20 years it has advanced in only 21 municipalities (~6%), according to Con Criterio (article of Jun 26, 2024). The same article records a budget of Q157.2 million with Q49 million executed, Q45 million operating and Q4 million capital, and 707 employees, 696 of them on contract line 022. The RIC does not publish an accessible consolidated figure for the territory cadastred.
