To establish land ownership, a cadastral unit must be formed. There is often also a need to subdivide or amalgamate existing cadastral units, to modify boundaries between units, as well as to restore destroyed boundary markers and to identify boundary locations on the ground. All of these works are carried out by a qualified surveyor holding a licensed land surveyor / land management licence.

Engineering Bureau REIB carries out all works related to cadastral units and their boundaries.

Cadastral surveying is initiated in the Minu kataster environment. This can be done either by the landowner themselves or by a surveyor chosen by the landowner. If the client has no prior experience, it is recommended to contact a surveyor immediately.

If the landowner has initiated the process themselves, they must select a surveyor after receiving the required approvals.

The surveyor carries out the cadastral surveying in accordance with the cadastral surveying conditions issued by the Land Cadastre. To the necessary extent, existing boundary points are measured, the locations of new boundaries are determined and marked with boundary markers, and destroyed boundary markers are restored if required. Boundaries are coordinated with neighbouring landowners. A boundary protocol is prepared.

Finally, the Land Cadastre sends the registration application to the landowner for signature.

After the landowner has signed the registration application, the Land Cadastre forwards the data for entry in the Land Register.
