Chungnam Reduces 'Cadastral Survey Fees' in Buyeo and Cheongyang Counties Affected by Heavy Rainfall

[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province announced on the 30th that it will implement cadastral surveying fee reductions for residents of Buyeo and Cheongyang counties who suffered damage from the recent heavy rains.

The fee reduction is intended to support the prompt restoration of houses and farmland flooded by the heavy rains, as well as farmland that was washed away or buried.

The reduction rate is 100% for residential houses that were completely destroyed or washed away, and 50% for other damaged farmland and related areas.

The eligible cases include residents requiring registration conversion, subdivision, boundary restoration, and cadastral status surveying, with the application period lasting two years from the date of the special disaster area declaration.

Applications must be submitted within three months to the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation or private cadastral surveying firms after obtaining a 'Damage Confirmation Certificate' from the mayor, county governor, or district head.

In 2020, the province also received 132 applications for areas damaged by heavy rains in Cheonan and Asan, granting a total cadastral surveying fee reduction of 100 million KRW.

Ko Jae-seong, head of the Land Management Division of the province, said, “We hope the fee reduction will provide an opportunity for residents affected by the heavy rains to recover,” and added, “The province will actively promote the program to ensure no eligible applicants are overlooked when cadastral surveying requests are received.”
