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 26 Jun 2024, checked in audit). 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; the CES analysis of cadastral progress was not extracted, and the RIC's presentation to ENADE 2024 (FUNDESA) returned a 403.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
