Land register - apply for an extract from the land register


Procedure

The application is made

  • in person at the Legal Application Office of the Land Registry (opening hours from 09:00 to 12:30).
  • in writing by mail or e-mail (please scan or photograph the application beforehand).
  • It is not possible to apply by telephone.

Please bring your identity card with you when applying in person or enclose a copy of your identity card when applying in writing.

The application for an extract from the land register will be examined by the clerk of the court and granted if the requirements are met. The extract can be issued as an uncertified extract or as a certified extract.

If only a partial extract can be issued (e.g. because there is no legitimate interest in the registered encumbrances), it must be issued as an official extract (Section 45 Land Register Decree).

Legal bases

More information

It helps to speed up the procedure if the complete property designation (e.g. VL 43 sheet 1234) is provided.

You will only receive information on the owner if you demonstrate a legitimate interest when making the request.

The respective entitled persons may be represented by an authorized representative. The power of attorney must be submitted in writing.

Information on the 2022 Real Estate Tax Reform

A land register excerpt is generally not required for the tax return. Property owners can obtain the necessary information on the district, parcel, land parcel and property size independently via the link "Land parcel viewer" provided on the website of the Senator for Finance on the property tax reform.

Should a land register extract still be requested, this will be charged at €10.00.

If you have any further questions, please visit the website of the Senator of Finance on land tax reform. Detailed information is provided there. You will find the link to this in the "Further information" section under the heading "Where can I find out more?".

Important: The living space calculation is not done by the land registry, as this information does not result from the land registry.
