📘 Screen: Rural property

Q: Where do I say the property is leased or operated in partnership?

On the Exploited properties tab of the grower's Tax settings, not on the property. The rural property is just the land; the form of operation (owned, joint ownership, leased, partnership, free loan) and each person's percentage belong to whoever operates it, and the same land can be operated in different ways by different growers.

The rural property is the land the grower operates, registered just once in upCampo: Fazenda Santa Rita, with its CIB, CAR number, area and registry office deed registrations. It's the basis for the tax cash book and the LCDPR (Brazil's Digital Rural Producer Cash Book): it's how upCampo knows on which property each payment took place and, when the land is operated in partnership or joint ownership, how much of each amount belongs to each grower.

This screen stores only the land. Who operates the property, in what form (owned, leased, partnership…) and with what percentage is kept on the Exploited properties tab of each grower's Tax settings. The separation is intentional: the same land can be owned by one grower and leased by another.

Menu: File > Rural property

It comes right after Tax settings, where the exploited properties that use this record are. The screen has its own permission: it only appears in the menu for those who have been granted access in File > Users.

🧩 Main function

Register the company's rural properties, with the deed registrations of each one. One rule decides how many properties to register:

💡 Several adjoining registrations are ONE property, with a single CIB. That's how the law treats land: a farm bought piece by piece, in three neighboring deeds, is still one property, and the three registrations go into its Registrations tab. Two separate areas that don't adjoin each other, on the other hand, are different properties, each with its own CIB, even if they belong to the same owner.

⚠️ For the LCDPR, the property needs its CIB and a complete address. LCDPR generation checks the record before generating the file, and a property without a CIB (former NIRF) or with an incomplete address blocks the file, with the shortcut Open the rural properties to fix it. An expense shared by two properties (a pesticide bought without knowing where it will be applied) goes to the grower's main exploitation; see example G in the tax cash book.

📝 Main fields

Field	Description
Name	Required. What the farm calls the property: "Fazenda Santa Rita", "Sítio Boa Esperança". It's the name that appears when choosing the property, in Tax settings and in the cash book.
CIB (former NIRF)	The property's CIB (Brazilian Real Estate Registry number), which replaced the Federal Revenue Service's NIRF. Up to 8 characters, including the check digit; dots and hyphens are removed automatically.
CAR number	The property's registration in the CAR (Rural Environmental Registry).
Area (ha)	The property's area in hectares. It's suggested from the sum of the registrations and can be edited; see The area and the registrations, below.
Street, Number, Complement, District, City, ZIP code	The property's address. The City matters: the municipality code goes into the LCDPR.
Notes	Free-text notes.
Active	Uncheck it to take out of use a property the farm no longer operates, without losing its history.

The list shows Name, CIB, City, Area (ha), the number of Registrations and Exploitations linked to the property, and whether it's active.

🗂 Tab: Registrations

Each registry office deed registration that makes up the property: Registration (the number, required), Registry office and Area (ha) of that registration.

The area and the registrations

Below the list you'll see the Sum of registrations. As long as nobody types a different area over it, the property's Area (ha) follows that sum: add, change or delete a registration, and the area adjusts. If you type a different area (because the current survey doesn't match the deeds, for example), it stops following the sum and keeps the value you entered. The Use the sum as area button sets the area back to the sum of the registrations.

🗑 Delete or deactivate

A property that is already used in an exploitation in Tax settings can't be deleted; upCampo warns "This property is used in an exploitation in the Tax configuration and cannot be deleted. Deactivate it." Uncheck Active instead of deleting. Deleting only makes sense for a property registered by mistake, and it takes its registrations with it.

✅ Result: with the properties registered:

Each piece of land is registered once, with CIB, CAR, area and registrations, ready for the LCDPR.
Each grower's Tax settings state which property they work and with what percentage.
The tax cash book splits partnership and joint-ownership amounts automatically, CPF by CPF.

❓ Frequently asked questions

I have three deed registrations on the same farm. Do I register three properties?

No, if the registrations adjoin each other. In upCampo, neighboring registrations are a single property, with one CIB: register the property once and add all three on the Registrations tab. Only separate areas that don't adjoin are different properties.

What is the CIB? Is it the same as the NIRF?

The CIB (Brazilian Real Estate Registry number) is the number that replaced the NIRF in the Federal Revenue Service's rural property registry. In upCampo it goes in the property's CIB (former NIRF) field, with up to 8 characters and the check digit.

Where do I say the property is leased or operated in partnership?

On the Exploited properties tab of the grower's Tax settings, not on the property. The rural property is just the land; the form of operation (owned, joint ownership, leased, partnership, free loan) and each person's percentage belong to whoever operates it, and the same land can be operated in different ways by different growers.

The property area changed on its own. Why?

Because it follows the sum of the registrations as long as nobody types another value. When you add, change or delete a registration, the area adjusts. If you want an area different from the sum, type it in: from then on it stays fixed, and the Use the sum as area button makes it follow the sum again.

I can't delete a property. What do I do?

The property is already used in an exploitation in some grower's Tax settings, so it can't be deleted. Uncheck Active: it goes out of use and the cash book history keeps pointing to it.
