Cadastral Value of Property in Kyrgyzstan: How to Check and Dispute It in 2025

What Is Cadastral Value?

Cadastral value is the official state-assessed value of a real estate property. In Kyrgyzstan, it is determined by State Enterprise "Kyrgyzkadastr" under the State Registration Service (GRS).

Cadastral value is used for:

  • Calculating property tax
  • Calculating capital gains tax on sale
  • Notarial fees on property transactions
  • Bank valuation for mortgage purposes

Important: Cadastral value is typically 20–50% lower than market value.

How to Check Cadastral Value in 2025

Method 1: Via MFC or GRS Office

Visit the territorial GRS office or an MFC ("Bir Tereze" one-stop shop) to obtain a cadastral value certificate. Information may also be available through the Kyrgyz e-government portal.

You will need:

  • The cadastral number of the property (found on the technical passport)
  • Or the property address

Method 2: In Person at GRS

Visit the territorial GRS office for your property's location, bringing:

  • Passport
  • Title document

A cadastral value certificate will be issued.

Method 3: Via MFC (One-Stop-Shop Center)

This government service is available at citizen service centers. Processing time is typically 3–5 business days.

Taxes Related to Cadastral Value

Property Tax

Rate in the Kyrgyz Republic: 0.35% per year of cadastral value for residential properties.

Example: apartment with cadastral value of 2,000,000 KGS → annual tax = 7,000 KGS.

Capital Gains Tax on Sale

When selling a property owned for less than 3 years:

  • 10% of the difference between sale price and purchase price
  • Or 10% of cadastral value if no purchase documents exist

Owned more than 3 years — no tax applies.

When Is Cadastral Value Overvalued?

Overvaluation occurs when:

  • Mass revaluation was done without assessing the actual property condition
  • Data errors are present (wrong area, floor, year of construction)
  • Zone classification is incorrect (central vs. peripheral)

Consequences:

  • Inflated annual property tax
  • Higher notarial fees on transactions

How to Dispute Cadastral Value

Step 1: Commission an Independent Appraisal

Hire a licensed appraiser. The appraisal report will be the basis for your challenge.

Step 2: Submit an Application to GRS

File an application at the territorial GRS office, attaching:

  • Independent appraisal report
  • Title documents
  • Applicant's passport

Step 3: Commission Review

GRS reviews the application within 30 days. If approved, the cadastral value is corrected.

Step 4: Court Appeal

If GRS denies the application, you can file a court claim. Court challenges in the Kyrgyz Republic are possible but require an experienced lawyer.

Common Questions

How often is cadastral value revised? By law, at least once every 5 years. Unscheduled revaluations are possible when market conditions change.

Does cadastral value affect the sale price? No. The notary uses cadastral value only to calculate fees. The actual transaction price is determined by the market.

What if the cadastral number is not found? Contact GRS to clarify — the property may not yet be registered in the cadastral system.
