The Brazilian Real Estate Registry in 2026

The Brazilian Real Estate Registry (Cadastro Imobiliário Brasileiro, CIB), which becomes fully operational in 2026, represents an unprecedented step forward in how the government identifies, cross-checks and oversees real estate across the country.

That is why 2026 marks a significant change for property owners: properties with changes not recorded in the registry, discrepancies between income tax returns and the property's registry record, pending inheritances, assets held in the names of individuals and incomplete documentation will quickly come under the scrutiny of the tax authorities.

Lozano & Castelo Branco Sociedade de Advogados works in asset planning, document regularization and the structuring of holding companies, matters that are relevant for families and companies preparing for 2026.

Each situation requires an individual assessment of the assets and documentation involved.
