The aim of the company «National Cadastre & Mapping Agency S.A.» is to record and update the landed property. This includes the geometric description, as well as the ownership status of each cadastral parcel. At the same time, it is responsible for the geodetic coverage and mapping of the country, inventory and mapping of its natural resources, as well as for the creation and maintenance of digital geospatial and environmental data.

Due to the overloading of the Hellenic Cadastre's server, sometimes it is advised to increase the "Tile capture delay", in order for the import of the imagery to be successful. Indicatively, the number might need to go as high as 30 or more seconds.
Finally, regarding the imagery date of the orthophotos, the site of the Hellenic Cadastre states that they were taken during the 2007-2009 period.
