Connect parcel information and planning documents
Start with the property search in the cantonal geoportal. The planning authority also points to the public-law restrictions viewer for parcel PDF extracts and to ÖREBlex for documents such as building regulations and approval decisions. Match the map and documents to the same municipality and parcel. Attach project questions to the relevant document so that mapped information is not confused with a proposed use.
Record the municipality and document version
For each saved document, record the municipality, title and date. If several plans or decisions are available, identify which version your question refers to. Keep records of alterations already completed as well. For a proposed extension, distinguish the existing building from what remains to be investigated. A total area figure or zoning label does not replace a specific description of the project and its uncertainties.
Document the property and its actual use
For a house, gather floor plans, renovation records and information about heating, the roof, access and parking. Separate living accommodation from ancillary spaces and other buildings. For an apartment, add the ownership share, shared costs and approved renovations. For land, prepare access, utility and planning information. For occasional use or rental, describe the actual situation with supporting records. Mention known access issues when arranging a visit.

Frequently asked questions
Which documents complement a parcel map?
The parcel’s official restrictions extract and municipal documents relevant to your question are useful. Add your own building plans and renovation records. Identify the points that still need a response from the responsible authority.
How should I handle several plan versions?
Keep each version’s title, date and source. Submit conflicting information with a short explanation instead of deciding yourself which version is authoritative. The municipality concerned can clarify which planning documents apply to an outstanding question.
How much does a property valuation cost?
Your enquiry is non-binding. The services and any fees are explained during the first discussion, before you decide. An enquiry does not oblige you to sell. Please mention any specific requirements for the report at the outset.
