The land register is used for legal transactions involving real estate. In particular, the ownership structure and encumbrances under private law, such as rights of way, mortgages, and land or pension debts, are entered in the land register.

Anyone who demonstrates a legitimate interest can inspect the land register or apply for copies (subject to a fee).

Registration in the land register:

If, for example, you want to transfer ownership of a plot of land, i.e. buy or sell a plot of land, or create a lien on your land, this requires an entry in the land register. You address the corresponding application to the land registry office of the locally competent district court.

Requirements:

You are the owner of the property.
Your right is affected by this entry.
In the case of the transfer of ownership of a plot of land, the agreement on the change of title must also be evidenced in notarized form.
All approvals and declarations must be in the form of public or publicly certified documents.
