The Swiss cadastral system

The Swiss cadastral survey safeguards landownership and is the basis for numerous other geographic information tools and applications for both professional and private use.

The Cadastre of public-law restrictions on landownership (PLR Cadastre) is a reliable, official system providing information about the most important public law restrictions on landownership.

The land register is where landowners’ rights are officially recorded. This is essential for safeguarding landownership.
