If you did not manage to submit your declaration to the Land Registry, there are still ways to protect your property. Through extrajudicial procedures, such as applying for a manifest error and applying for Article 6, paragraph 4 of Law 2664/1998, you can register your property even after the completion of the Land Registry in your area.

The deadline for submitting declarations expired on November 30 for most areas, while five of them were granted a few days’ extension. However, citizens have until the end of 2026 to correct their initial registrations. Otherwise, the properties will be classified as “Unknown Owner” and will become the property of the State.

Out-of-court solutions for late declarations
Owners who have not declared their properties or who need to correct their registrations (e.g., in cases of inheritance acceptance or transfers that have not been registered) can take advantage of:

The obvious error procedure: Used for correcting simple errors in entries.
The application of Article 6(4) of Law 2664/1998: This concerns cases where the original registrations show a previous owner instead of the current one.
Procedure for establishing ownership
Even if the deadline has expired, you can establish your ownership by submitting documents proving your ownership, such as:

• Title deeds
• Inheritance earnings
• Purchase and sale agreements

It is important to note that correction is possible even for properties that have been classified as “Unknown Owner.” If you do not have the necessary documents, the claim can only be made through the courts.
