Open the dynamic extract for the correct parcel
Selecting a parcel in the cantonal GIS-Browser opens a dynamic PLR extract. It links to the associated legal documents, and a print function produces a static PDF extract. Check the parcel identification before saving. Record which version you use for your enquiry instead of sending only a screenshot without its legend. For an apartment, add the unit identification: the parcel initially describes the land, rather than the individual home to be assessed.
Use the extract to locate the relevant documents
The canton describes the PLR extract as informative and refers to adopted or published legal documents for authoritative provisions. For a purchase or alteration, write your unresolved questions beside the relevant entry. A PDF does not answer every aspect of a specific proposal. Ask the responsible office to clarify uncertainties about use, and distinguish the documented property from assumptions about a later extension or change. Keeping those assumptions visible supports a clearer valuation discussion.
Keep the property file easy to review
For a house, prepare plans and dated information on renovations, heating and known defects. For an apartment, identify floor level, outdoor space, ancillary rooms and parking allocation; add available records of shared works. For land, mention planning advice already obtained. Arrange plans and extracts by date and flag older versions. This makes comparison with the condition on site easier and avoids mixing several different situations without noticing, particularly where marketing information and older plans use different measurements.

Frequently asked questions
Should I keep the dynamic extract or the PDF?
The PDF records the version used in your file; the portal allows you to look again. Note the access date and retain relevant linked documents too. Neither replaces targeted clarification of an unresolved question about a particular project.
Does the parcel map define everything belonging to my apartment?
Add the available unit plans and allocation records. Identify the cellar, parking and other ancillary areas expressly. A map of the plot underneath the building is not enough to define the subject of an individual apartment valuation clearly.
What does a valuation cost and how is a visit arranged?
Your enquiry is non-binding and does not commit you to selling. The first conversation covers your purpose, the scope of the service, any fees and arrangements for a visit. Explain any deadline or particular intended use before commissioning a service.
