Building load information

The information on building encumbrances provides information on whether and, if so, which public-law obligations (building encumbrances) have been entered in the register of building encumbrances for a property. These may, for example, be building encumbrances that affect the structural usability of the property (e.g. taking over a clearance area or a parking space) or improve it (e.g. unification building encumbrance). Building encumbrances can therefore also affect the value of the property. For real estate financing, banks generally require up-to-date information from the register of building encumbrances.

Information on building encumbrances can be provided verbally or in writing.

If you would like written information (copy), please send an informal letter (or e-mail) to the lower building supervisory authority with a request for information from the register of building encumbrances. The letter/e-mail must state the property/parcel (street and house number or cadastral designation) to which the information relates and you must state your legitimate interest.

You do not need any documents to provide information by telephone or in person. However, you must be able to name the property/parcel and the legitimate interest.

A fee is payable for written information on building encumbrances. The fees depend on the number of properties for which information is to be provided.
