Questions

Consulta CAR e embargo IBAMA: what people ask

Is the CAR mandatory?

Yes. The Código Florestal makes CAR registration mandatory, with no end date, for all rural properties and possessions. It is filed preferably with the state or municipal environment agency. Registration is not a title: it does not prove ownership or possession.

How much of my land must be Reserva Legal?

In the Amazônia Legal: 80% of a property in forest, 35% in cerrado and 20% in campos gerais. In the rest of Brazil: 20%. These are minimums of native vegetation, on top of the rules for permanent preservation areas (APPs).

Can I get rural credit without a CAR?

No. Since 31 December 2017, the Código Florestal says banks may grant agricultural credit, of any kind, only to owners of rural properties registered in the CAR.
