The Swiss cadastral system
The Swiss cadastral system comprises three pillars: the cadastral surveying, the Cadastre of public-law restrictions on landownership (PLR Cadastre) and the land register.
Swiss Cadastral Surveying
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
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.
Land register
The land register is where landowners’ rights are officially recorded. This is essential for safeguarding landownership.
