A public law restriction on landownership generally comprises a map and the applicable legal provisions. It also contains information about the legal bases, together with additional information and explanations.

Components of a public law restriction on landownership

Plan

The map contains a definition of the area in which a given restriction (e.g. land use zone) applies.

Legal provisions

The legal provision is the ruling on which the restriction is based and which defines the restriction and its effects. This may, for example, take the form of a municipality’s building regulations.

Legal bases

As legal basis, the regulations on which the ruling is based are cited, for example a cantonal spatial development act. Additional data may, for example, take the form of names and addresses of authorities to be contacted for further information.

This means that, in the PLR-cadastre, graphic elements, legal provisions and additional information are combined, presented in a comprehensible manner and made available to the public.
