Rural properties with a plant equal to or less than 25 hectares have until November 20 to be georeferenced. The procedure, which became mandatory for rural properties, according to Decree 4,449/02, had the deadlines established based on the plant to be georeferenced and this group of properties is the last on the schedule.

In 2002, georeferencing became mandatory for properties larger than 5 thousand hectares. However, it has only now, in 2025, been extended to all properties after extensions to the deadline were granted over the years.

From November onwards, it will be necessary to previously register the georeferencing in the registration of the property at the Real Estate Registry Office, to subdivisions remembrances, dismemberments or transfers of rural properties.

Georeferencing consists of the delimitation of the rural property by determining its confrontations in a memorial. The indication of these confrontations, which are certified by the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra), is made through the Brazilian Geodetic System.

This process, which aims to avoid the overlapping of areas and ensure the correct delimitation of properties, is an essential aspect for the regularization of rural properties.

Georeferencing is also essential for rural producers to have access to government initiatives, such as insurance and rural credit, which increase the value of the property in the market. In addition, it ensures legal certainty and better monitoring of properties.

Given the proximity of the deadline for the georeferencing of rural properties smaller than 25 hectares, it is essential that owners are aware of the statutory requirements and seek the regularization of their properties.
