Property valuation in the canton of Basel-Landschaft

Use GeoView BL with a specific question

GeoView BL is the cantonal map service. Locate the property first, then select the thematic view relevant to your question. Save the address, municipality and parcel number with the map extract. Avoid adding numerous layers without a purpose: a clear view with its subject identified is more useful for the discussion. Keep the legend and creation date when sharing a map or a screenshot, so another reader can understand what the image represents.

Identify the part of the plot affected

The cantonal PLR enquiry displays restrictions by parcel, their share of the area and a PDF compilation. Examples include land-use planning, groundwater protection and building lines. When preparing the file, identify which part is affected. A small coloured area establishes neither a uniform loss of value nor unrestricted use of the rest of the land. Record the specific entry and ask the responsible office to clarify its implications where needed.

Match the documents to your intentions

For alterations to a house, prepare the existing plans, a short project description and any permissions or advice already available. For an apartment, identify the condominium unit, ancillary rooms and records concerning proposed shared works. For land, flag infrastructure and access questions. In the file, distinguish documented information from things you have only been told. A visit can complement these records with observations of the current condition, rather than treating a map as a complete property assessment.
