Short answer
The Caderneta Predial is the tax registration document for the property, showing its fiscal value and characteristics, while the Certidão de Teor is the land registry certificate confirming ownership and encumbrances. Both are essential for due diligence before buying. Always request updated versions and check that the details match the property you are buying. Confirm with a lawyer or notary that these documents are current and complete.
