Additional functions in the PLR Cadastre

Publication of planned and ongoing amendments with or without legal pre-effect. The cantons are at liberty to decide whether to implement this new function. It is only those amendments that are carried out at the federal level with legal pre-effect that have to be published in the cantonal PLR Cadastres.

The cantons are also encouraged to implement the public disclosure of new or amended PLRs in their PLR Cadastre. In this way, PLR Cadastres can be used as a publication medium: the publicly released maps can be consulted online round the clock, thus avoiding the need to contact a local authority.
