The Cadastral Map

This map is a key component of the national cadastre. It illustrates all property boundaries and ownership data from across Denmark, with the exception of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg communes (which maintain their own cadastres). It also provides information about protected forests, polluted areas, coastal erostion areas and cliff protection.

The cadastral map is a digital legal document. It is intended to present the cadastral register in visual form, such that individual parcels can be identified along with their attribute data (cadastral number, road access, etc.). The cadastral map is also used to determine precisely where property boundaries exist in the landscape, especially when 'actual' boundaries do not match the official 'paper' property boundaries exactly.

Today’s cadastral map is based on historical, hand-drawn property maps that have been digitised and georeferenced. In-field surveys and measurements have improved the precision of the digital cadastral map. This excludes the environmental data found in the maps (protected forests, polluted areas, etc.), which are generated and updated by the responsible public agencies.

The cadastral map is updated daily, as new property registrations, boundary changes and field surveys are submitted to the National Survey and Cadastre for approval.
