Kiinteistötietojärjestelmän

The Finnish kiinteistötietojärjestelmä, often translated as the real estate information system, is a comprehensive national database that holds detailed information about all properties in Finland. Its primary purpose is to serve as the official register for land parcels, buildings, and their ownership. The system is managed by the National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos).

Key data points within the kiinteistötietojärjestelmä include cadastral information, such as parcel boundaries, area, and designation. It also contains information on building rights, easements, and other encumbrances affecting a property. Ownership details, including names of owners, their share of ownership, and purchase history, are also meticulously recorded. Furthermore, the system links to other relevant data, such as taxation values and building permits.

The kiinteistötietojärjestelmä plays a crucial role in various real estate transactions, property development, and land use planning. It ensures transparency and legal certainty by providing an authoritative source of truth for property-related matters. Access to the system is regulated, with certain information being publicly available while other details are restricted to authorized parties, such as property owners, notaries, and public authorities. This system is fundamental to the functioning of the Finnish real estate market and public administration.
