tilanilmoitusrekisteri

Tilanilmoitusrekisteri is a Finnish term that translates to "property notification register." It is a central registry maintained by the Finnish National Land Survey (Maanmittauslaitos) that records information related to property transactions and changes in property ownership. The register serves as an official record of all legal changes affecting land parcels within Finland.

The primary purpose of the tilanilmoitusrekisteri is to ensure transparency and legal certainty in real estate dealings. When a property is bought, sold, inherited, or otherwise transferred, the relevant documentation, known as a tilan ilmoitus (property notification), must be submitted to the National Land Survey. This notification triggers the registration process, updating the ownership details in the tilanilmoitusrekisteri.

This register is crucial for various parties, including property owners, buyers, sellers, legal professionals, and governmental authorities. It provides an authoritative source of information regarding who owns what, the boundaries of properties, and any encumbrances or rights associated with them, such as mortgages or easements. Access to this information is generally public, although certain sensitive details may be restricted. The accuracy and upkeep of the tilanilmoitusrekisteri are fundamental to the functioning of the Finnish land market and property law.
