How many PLRs are there?

In Switzerland, there are more than 150 different PLRs. In an initial phase at federal level, the 17 most important restrictions on landownership rights from eight sectors will be included in the Cadastre. The cantons can add further restrictions on landownership rights from their respective territories that have the following features:

• they are clearly defined (in the terrain or on a map)
• they relate to a specific number of parcels of land
• they are legally valid
