Lantmäteriet manages all property information

The Swedish Cadastral and Land Registration Authority, Lantmäteriet, is the authority that manages all information on properties in Sweden. Lantmäteriet also takes care of all map information in the country.

Lantmäteriet has two major tasks: map-related information and property-related information. The authority manages and updates geographical information, maps of individual properties, elevations and other data that is linked to maps. The information is continuously updated to show the right owner of land and correct property boundaries.

• with a change in ownership of a property (acquisition, gift)
• when applying for registration of title deeds
• when handling mortgage bonds and mortgages in properties
• when applying for a change to property boundaries
