BAGSysteem

BAGSysteem is a Dutch cadastral system that registers all buildings and their associated land parcels. The system, short for Basisregistratie Gebouwen, is part of a broader initiative by the Dutch government to create a unified and comprehensive database of all physical aspects of the country. The primary goal of BAGSysteem is to provide accurate and up-to-date information about buildings, including their type, usage, dimensions, and location, as well as the land they occupy.

This information is crucial for various governmental and private organizations. It supports spatial planning, urban development, taxation, environmental management, and emergency services. For citizens, BAGSysteem provides transparency regarding property information and can be used for planning purposes or understanding property boundaries. The data is collected and maintained by municipalities, with central oversight and coordination by the Kadaster, the Dutch land registry office. Access to the BAGSysteem data is generally public, although certain details may be restricted due to privacy regulations. The system is continuously updated to reflect changes in the built environment, such as new constructions, demolitions, or alterations.
