Summary:

The article constitutes the part of broader studies on the issue of practical usefulness of public registers, comprising the databases on real property, in tasks related to real estate appraisal. It includes the results of research on the scope in which geodetic public registers (Land and buildings register as well as the Register of Prices and Values of Real estate) collect essential or only useful data to the process of land property appraisal. Presented analyses are demonstrated on the examples of above-mentioned registers, conducted in the offices of the district authorities in Lublin Voivodeship. The results of prepared analyses are critical. The researched public registers, operating in the current condition, do not have formal possibilities of collecting the range of essential information on properties. The studies showed that even though architects of databases, implemented in the departments of geodesy in some offices of district authorities, anticipated the possibility of registering specific useful data, nevertheless in practice appropriate fields of relevant registers remain unused.
