The key for a continuous cadastre updating is a gradual progressive tax increase. Bogota, Colombia.

Juan Ricardo Ortega Lopez

BOGOTA ENERGY GROUP, Colombia

The successful case of Bogotá in the continuous updating of cadastral information is analyzed. It is argued that the accurate identification of property, the recognition of market dynamics to determine real accurate property valuations, and the implementation of progressive taxation are crucial to address the economic and social gap in these urban areas. In a context where poverty levels are significant, tax collection emerges as a central pillar for sustainable development. The Bogotá case illustrates how a proactive approach to cadastral updating, a frontal fight against corruption, and the implementation of progressive fiscal policies can act as catalysts to mitigate inequality and promote equitable growth in Latin American cities.
