A proposed profile that can extend the current LADM to incorporate juridical, fiscal, and marine components of the land administration together is developed. A proposed profile for the LADM that would accommodate the existing legal components of the Trinidad and Tobago cadastre was previously designed. This profile is now extended to include the marine cadastre details as well as the fiscal cadastre details. This extended profile will now move the idea further along toward an SDI for the country. A previous study described the initial structure of a LADM profile for Trinidad and Tobago as well as an STDM profile to include the large numbers of informal land parcels in the country. Initiatives have been on-going to improve parts of the land administration including the restructuring of the registration system and development of the fiscal system. The valuation roll is proposed to be updated with individual property assessments for all parcels in a plan to reintroduce property taxation after seven years of hiatus. The LADM profile has not yet been applied to the country, however, a fiscal extension as well as a marine cadastre extension can benefit the country. Currently there are no immediate plans to organise the marine areas into a cadastre. This extended LADM incorporates the STDM as well as values the informal parcels in order to uniquely define a profile for the country.
