The national land registry promises a vastly improved Web site by the second quarter of this year, complete with plats, up-to-date data and high resolution maps.
Called BID-Catastro. workers are plowing their way through the 56 cantons on the site with 23 well advanced. The maps will be 1:5000 for all territory and 1:1000 for urban areas.
It will be accessed by Google at Sistema Nacional de Informacion Territorial.
It is hoped eventually that the information will indicate hazardous zones in which to build and aid in zoning, which is currently all but non-existent in some important areas of Costa Rica.
Michael Copeland founded Rock Costa Rica after falling in love with the Lake Arenal area and moving there from Northern California’s Bay Area. He developed a deep affection and respect for the Tico people and for the Costa Rican philosophy of pura vida (“the pure life”) – a philosophy characterized by strong community spirit, perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties, enjoying life slowly and celebrating good fortune.
