How cadastral value is calculated
Cadastral value = cadastral income × 1.05 × coefficient
| Property | Coefficient |
|---|---|
| Main home (category A, except A/10) | 110 |
| Other homes and outbuildings (categories A and C/2, C/6, C/7) | 120 |
Example: a flat with cadastral income of €800, not a main home: 800 × 1.05 × 120 = €100,800.
You will find the cadastral income in the cadastral record (visura catastale) or in the purchase deed. In South Tyrol the record is requested from the provincial cadastre.
What cadastral value is used for
- Calculating registration tax when buying from a private seller (the "prezzo valore" system).
- Inheritances and gifts.
- Local taxes: in South Tyrol, IMI is based on the cadastral income.
Market value: why it is different
Cadastral incomes were set decades ago and updated only with general coefficients: they ignore location, condition, floor and renovations. Two flats with the same cadastral income can be worth very different amounts on the market.
Market value is estimated from the area's prices per square metre (for example OMI values) and the home's actual features. That is what our calculator does for Bolzano and the surrounding area.
Which one to use when selling
Cadastral value is no use for setting an asking price: using it would almost always mean underselling. Start from the market value in your area and, for a precise figure, an on-site valuation.
