What Rosreestr Does
Rosreestr has several important tasks that help keep things organized in Russia.
Keeping Property Records
One of Rosreestr's biggest jobs is to manage the Unified State Register of Rights on Real Estate and Transactions. This is a huge database. It lists who owns every piece of land and every building. It also records when properties are bought, sold, or transferred. This helps prevent arguments about who owns what.
Mapping Russia
Rosreestr is also in charge of all the official maps of Russia. This includes creating new maps and updating old ones. They work with something called spatial data infrastructure. This means they collect and organize all kinds of geographic information. This information is used for many things, like planning new roads or understanding where natural resources are.
