kadastergegevens

Kadastergegevens are the official records maintained by the Dutch Kadaster that describe real estate properties and the legal rights attached to them. The data cover both the physical description of parcels and the legal framework surrounding them, including how the property is owned and what rights or obligations affect it.

Core elements of kadastergegevens include cadastral boundaries and parcel identifiers (percelen), surface area, location details, and a description of the property. The records also cover ownership (eigenaar), and other real rights such as leaseholds (erfpacht), usufruct ( vruchtgebruik), and encumbrances or mortgages (hypotheek). The cadastral map (kadastrale kaart) provides the spatial representation of parcel borders in relation to coordinates and other geographic data, often alongside information about easements and restrictions.

Kadastergegevens are maintained as part of the Basisregistratie Kadastergegevens (BRK) and are used by government bodies, notaries, real estate professionals, insurers, and researchers for administration, planning, taxation, and property transactions. A substantial portion of basic cadastral information is publicly accessible through online viewers and open data portals, while more detailed extracts or owner information may require a formal request, registration, or payment, subject to privacy rules and statutory limits.

The data are produced and updated by the Kadaster, with standardized formats and quality controls to ensure consistency across the Netherlands. Users rely on kadastergegevens for due diligence, spatial planning, risk assessment, property valuation, and other real estate activities, making accuracy and timeliness essential characteristics of these records.
