The State opens an investigation file regarding a 2,796-square-meter plot in Fontcalent

The General Directorate of State Patrimony has agreed to initiate a patrimonial investigation procedure regarding a rustic estate of 2,796 square meters located on plot 26 of polygon 19, in the Fontcalent area, within the municipality of Alicante. The agreement is made public through an announcement by the Delegation of Economy and Finance in Alicante in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante (BOP) No. 217, of November 13, 2026, under case number 201700300241. Affected persons have one month to submit allegations to the Delegation.

The procedure is supported by articles 45, 46, and 47 of Law 33/2003, of November 3, on the Patrimony of Public Administrations, which empower the General State Administration to investigate the ownership of assets and rights that presumably belong to it and are not registered in its name. The initiation agreement issued by the General Directorate of State Patrimony is dated October 9, 2025, as stated in the announcement now published in the provincial gazette.

The processing is completed in accordance with the provisions of articles 56 and 57 of Royal Decree 1373/2009, of August 28, which approves the General Regulation of Law 33/2003. In application of this regulation, a copy of the announcement publication will be sent to the Alicante City Council for display on the notice board.

A rustic estate in polygon 19

The object of the case is a plot without buildings described by the announcement with the following data:

• Land area: 2,796 square meters, according to the Cadastre.
• Cadastral reference: 03900A019000260000OY.
• Location: plot 26 of polygon 19, Fontcalent area, municipality of Alicante.
• Boundaries: to the north, plot 9005 of polygon 19; to the south, plot 27 of polygon 19; to the east, plot 9009 of polygon 19; and to the west, plot 9005 of polygon 19, all within the municipality of Alicante.

The investigation does not in itself prejudge the final ownership of the property, but rather opens the way to determine if the General State Administration holds patrimonial ownership of the estate.

Fifteen days of notices and one month to allege

The procedure’s calendar is set in two successive periods:

• Fifteen days of display of the announcement on the notice board of the Alicante City Council.
• One month, counted from the day following the end of the display period, to formulate allegations.

During that month, persons affected by the case may allege in writing to the Delegation of Economy and Finance in Alicante whatever they deem appropriate, provide the documents on which they base their claims, and propose evidence.

The delegate signs the announcement

The announcement is signed by the delegate of Economy and Finance in Alicante, Juan Ruiz-Rico Alcaide, and is inserted in section I of the bulletin, dedicated to the Central Administration, with the order number 8706 / 2026.

Publication in the BOP constitutes the formal channel of notification to potential interested parties, given that the Administration does not always have a known address for those who may hold rights over rural properties of this nature.

The relevance of the announcement is twofold for readers: any person who proves rights over this plot in Fontcalent now has a designated means and a fixed deadline to appear, and the file provides public record that the State claims ownership of a property whose registry status has not been resolved. The resolution that ends the procedure will determine, where applicable, the incorporation of the property into the State’s assets.
