Cadastral account (cuenta corriente catastral)
A unique cadastral and fiscal ID assigned by Paraguay's National Cadastre Service to each property, linked to property-tax calculation.
Last updated:
The cuenta corriente catastral (CCC) identifies a property in the fiscal-cadastral system of the Servicio Nacional de Catastro (SNC). It's distinct from the Registry's matrícula: matrícula is legal (ownership and encumbrances), CCC is fiscal (basis for property tax). Standard sale practice requests both: the matrícula report from the Registry and the cadastral certificate / no-debt confirmation from the municipality. A property can be in one name per matrícula but in another per CCC if not updated after transfer.
Example
After the deed, the new owner never updates the cadastral account. Two years later, property-tax bills are still issued in the seller's name and a municipal debt accumulates — surfacing exactly when they try to resell. Updating the CCC right after purchase avoids that tangle.
