Summary:

As the primary land information system, the land and building register (real estate cadastre) supplies the data for the needs of land-use planning, land management, the scope of taxation and services, designation of land properties in mortgage registers, public statistics and the register of agricultural farms. In order for this register to be useful for the abovementioned purposes, it must contain data which is current, credible and easily accessible for users. The function of the system in the spatial information infrastructure of the country and in the integrated real estate information system also necessitates keeping the land and building register updated.
The paper will discuss the legal and organisational aspects of the process of updating the register information (objective and subjective) under current legal circumstances.
