8905, the Instituto Geográfico Nacional is established as a dependency of the National Registry, and that the Administrative Board of the National Registry will administer the Institute's budget and sign the contracts and agreements necessary for the exercise of its functions. Likewise, it is established that the Instituto Geográfico Nacional shall be the scientific and technical dependency governing national cartography, destined for the execution of the Official Basic Map and the Basic Geographic Description of the Republic of Costa Rica, and for studies, investigations or tasks, and the development of national policies of a cartographic, geographic, geodetic, geophysical nature, or of a similar nature related to said works, in order to support planning processes.

59, establishes it permanently and on behalf of the State, as the official authority in geodetic matters and in the spatial representation of the geography of the Republic, its authority extending to activities of any order originating from the work entrusted to it.

1284/OC-CR "Programa de Regularización de Catastro y Registro", subscribed with the Inter-American Development Bank, under the mixed financing modality, between said Bank and the State of the Republic of Costa Rica, whose Executing Unit is a deconcentrated body of the Ministry of Finance, has the objective of: forming the cadastre of all existing properties in the country, duly georeferenced, and making this information compatible with the Immovable Property Registry.

59, in Article 62 of the Regulations to Law No. 6043, the competence of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional is recognized for the delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone, and its officialization through publication in the Official Gazette La Gaceta, while Article 63 of the same Regulations states that "The Instituto Geográfico Nacional must publish a notice in the Official Gazette for each portion of the maritime-terrestrial zone in which it has demarcated the public zone."

36642-MP-MOPTMINAET "Regulations of Specifications for the Delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone", it is established according to Article 18 that for the delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone, the IGN may use two execution methodologies, indicated in Articles 19 and 20, corresponding to the delimitation of the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone through the placement of landmarks (mojones) and/or through digital georeferenced delimitation, this in order to expedite the delimitations and provide greater technical security to interested parties.

33797-MJ-MOPT, which among other aspects determines the National Geodetic Horizontal Reference Network CR05, and its associated cartographic projection CRTM05, as the official system to which the coordinates of all geodetic, cartographic, and cadastral works executed in our country must be referenced, specifically stating in Article 11 that: "The National Geodetic Horizontal Reference Network CR05 and the CRTM05 cartographic projection system shall constitute the sole official coordinate system for the Republic of Costa Rica, from which all cartographic and geodetic surveys and activities carried out in the National Territory by any public agency, person, or private national or foreign entity must be referenced."; while Article 7 indicates that "As cartographic data are produced in the new CRTM05 cartographic projection system, the Instituto Geográfico Nacional shall publish through appropriate means that information which has been officialized."

8154, published in "La Gaceta", issue 237 of December 10, 2001, Loan Agreement No. 1284/OC-CR), subscribed an Agreement effective as of December 18, 2009, whose main objective was to formalize the support provided by the Executing Unit (UE) of the Programa de Regularización del Catastro y Registro (PRCR) to the Instituto Geográfico Nacional to determine and georeference to the national coordinate system the position of: a) the ordinary high tide line and consequently the line delimiting the Public Zone, and b) the landmarks demarcating the public zone of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone on the Pacific coast of our country.

Additionally, landmarks were georeferenced that were pending publication according to a demarcation carried out by this Institute in the 1990s, which resulted in partial officialization according to La Gaceta No. 142 of July 26, 1996. Finally, landmarks were georeferenced for which no publication was found in La Gaceta, but which have support from survey plans (planos de agrimensura) duly registered in the Immovable Property Registry of the National Registry, valid and current to this day. These registered plans do not have the visa of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, as they are plans describing private properties in the Immovable Property Registry of the National Registry.

09-1090 of October 23, 2009, the Directorate of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional presented to the Constitutional Chamber, to the Executive Directorate of the Sistema Nacional de Áreas de Conservación (SINAC) and the Director of the Área de Conservación Tempisque, these last two being dependencies of the Ministry of Environment and Energy, and to the General Secretariat of the Secretaría Técnica Ambiental (SETENA), the Report: "Actions carried out by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) in relation to vote number 2009-000949 of 14 hours 15 minutes on January 23, 2009, of the Constitutional Chamber, and preliminary report according to official communication No. 09-0712 of July 17, 2009, from the General Directorate of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional".

09-1090 of October 23, 2009, presented by the Directorate of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, a series of actions necessary to be carried out in order to improve and complete the delimitation of the coastal sectors and estuaries/mangrove of Las Baulas National Marine Park (PNMLB) is identified.

6227 General Law of Public Administration states that "the administrative act shall produce its effect after it is communicated to the administered party, except if it grants only rights, in which case it shall produce it from the time it is adopted," a provision that must necessarily be related to number 204 of the same normative body, which defines the appropriate instrument for communicating acts of a generic nature by stating that: "General acts shall be communicated by publication, and specific acts by notification." COMMUNICATES:

6043 on the Maritime Terrestrial Zone, of March 2, 1977, the Instituto Geográfico Nacional performed the positioning in the national CR05 coordinate system of the landmarks that define the public zone of the sector of Estero/Manglar Ventanas, Playa Ventanas and Playa Grande (up to the mouth of Estero Tamarindo): Las Baulas National Marine Park, located in district 01 Cabo Velas, canton 10 Santa Cruz, province of 05 Guanacaste.

The official technical data of the work have been recorded in the Digital Georeferenced Geodatabase of the Maritime Terrestrial Zone (ZMT) of the IGN and in file 13ª of the ZMT Registry of the IGN.

Así mismo, se establece que el Instituto Geográfico Nacional será la dependencia científica y técnica rectora de la cartografía nacional, destinada a la ejecución del Mapa básico oficial y la Descripción básica geográfica de la República de Costa Rica y a los estudios, las investigaciones o labores y el desarrollo de políticas nacionales de carácter cartográfico, geográfico, geodésico, geofísico y de índole similar que tenga relación con dichas obras, con el fin de apoyar los procesos de planificación.

Adicionalmente, se georreferenciaron mojones que se encontraban pendientes de publicar según demarcación realizada por este Instituto en los años 1990´s, la cual derivó en la oficialización parcial según La Gaceta N° 142 del 26 de julio de 1996. Finalmente, se georreferenció mojones de los cuales N° se encontró publicación en La Gaceta, pero los mismos tienen un respaldo de planos de agrimensura debidamente inscritos en el Registro Inmobiliario del Registro Nacional, válidos y vigentes para el día de hoy. Estos planos inscritos N° cuentan con visado del Instituto Geográfico Nacional, por ser planos que describen propiedades privadas en el Registro Inmobiliario del Registro Nacional.
