Open the restrictions extract from ThurGIS
Select the public-law restrictions topic in ThurGIS, locate the property and zoom to the parcel you need. Clicking the parcel opens the corresponding extract. Check the plot number and location before saving the document. If no window appears, consult the portal’s guidance about browser popup settings. Keep the date with the extract so others can identify the version you consulted.
Distinguish preliminary publication from the applicable documents
The map legend includes a «Perimeter Vorpublikation» layer. Identify information of this kind separately in your dossier. Ask the responsible municipality which documents apply to your question and what stage the displayed proposal has reached. The presence of planning information on screen does not confirm permission for an individual alteration or establish a specific increase in the property’s market value.
Make follow-up enquiries easy to identify
The canton’s documentation describes municipal data collection offices that check information and forward it to the geoinformation office. For a useful enquiry, give the municipality, parcel, selected map layer and relevant document reference. Explain what is unclear rather than forwarding only a coloured screenshot. This helps direct a display problem or a question about permitted use to the appropriate point of contact.
Describe the building in its current state
Add floor plans, area definitions, renovation records and a description of condition. Separate completed works from planned investment or a proposed change of use. For an apartment, include available records about shared parts. Through its Steinhausen contact, Suisse Homes discusses your purpose and unresolved points. The scope of service, costs and arrangements for a possible visit are agreed during the first conversation.
Official sources to prepare your enquiry
These sources describe the location and property records. They do not calculate an individual market value.
Frequently asked questions
Does «Vorpublikation» mean that I can already build?
Do not infer building permission from that label. Ask the responsible municipality about the applicable documents and the stage reached by the particular proposal.
What if the extract does not appear?
The portal help mentions possible popup blocking. Check that setting for the official portal rather than substituting an unclear screenshot for the required extract.
How should I describe a proposed zoning change?
Identify it as an unresolved planning question and provide available documents. Keep today’s documented use separate from the scenario you hope to achieve.
