Map layers: Property
The Property category gathers the most used layers for property work: the matrikkel, building categories from Matrikkelen, zoning plans, cultural heritage and price statistics. These layers are the starting point for most property-related tasks in Placepoint, from screening plots and checking zoning to price assessment and monitoring building case coverage.
Open the category through the Map Layers button at the top right of the map, or through Map layer in the left menu, then select Browse layers to see the category tiles. Click the Property tile to open the sub-list.

Cadastre – Property Map
Parcels (delimited areas/plots of land) with information about which property they belong to. Data from Kartverket.
The layer is made up of several sublayers: parcels (cadastre number, property boundary, helper line, boundary point), construction projection polygons, address, access and buildings. Turn them on and off individually through Hide/show in Active Layers.
About the map layer
The dataset contains parcels (delimited areas) with information about which property they belong to. The cadastre number (gårdsnummer/bruksnummer) identifies the property. Boundary points, boundaries and parcel area with quality information are included. Volumes for construction properties (above/below ground) are delivered as an area, a flat "footprint". The distribution is set up directly against Kartverket with about 30 minutes' delay; with larger changes or loads the delay can be somewhat longer. Use Suitable for maps, presentations and various analyses of properties and thematic data.

Sublayers (15)
| Sublayers | Description |
|---|---|
| Address | Section 2d of the cadastral regulations defines the official address as the complete address of a building, building change, occupancy unit, property or other object registered with an address in the matrikkel. The official address includes the occupancy unit number (from the building) when this is needed to achieve a unique address. |
| Construction Projection Polygon | The depiction on the ground surface of a construction property (volume) located above or below ground. Note: Delimited by construction projection boundaries. Construction projection polygons can overlap each other when they are at different levels. Construction projection polygons do not have shared geometry. The polygon can have inner holes. A construction property can have a combination of parcel(s) on the ground and projections of volumes above/below ground. Parcels on the ground are registered as Parcel and not as Construction Projection Polygon. |
| Construction Projection Polygons | The depiction on the ground surface of a construction property (volume) located above or below ground. Note: Delimited by construction projection boundaries. Construction projection polygons can overlap each other when they are at different levels. Construction projection polygons do not have shared geometry. The polygon can have inner holes. A construction property can have a combination of parcel(s) on the ground and projections of volumes above/below ground. Parcels on the ground are registered as Parcel and not as Construction Projection Polygon. |
| Construction Projection Boundary | Lines that describe the extent of the construction property in the plane. Note: Construction projection boundaries are formed by construction projection points and form construction projection polygons. Because the depiction can apply to different construction properties at different levels, several construction projection boundaries can exist. |
| Construction Projection Point | A coordinate-determined point that is identified, described and/or specially marked in the geographic delimitation of the construction projection polygon. Note: The same point can be registered several times when it is part of different construction projection boundaries. |
| Access | Describes how you gain access to the road object for maintenance. |
| Building | Building is the matrikkel's representation of a planned, under construction, completed or, for some reason, discontinued building. All buildings erected after 1983 are registered. In some municipalities all buildings have been registered. A building is identified by its building number, which is unique across municipalities. Every building has a building status that states its condition at the last registration. History of this is also stored. A building has one or more occupancy units that describe logical units in the building (apartments, premises). Each of these can have its own link to an address and matrikkelenhet. For buildings, certain changes are registered so that it is possible to see what each change meant for the building. This applies to conversions and extensions that require building case processing. This is done by registering a "building change" when the change starts. When the building change is completed, the building is updated with values from the building change. Note: Buildings over 15 square metres must be registered in the matrikkel. |

| Building number | A building is identified by its building number, which is unique across municipalities. |
| Property Boundary | Lines that describe the extent of the matrikkelenhet in the plane. A property boundary is a form of parcel boundary. Technical note: Two neighbouring parcels share the same boundary, which means that parcel boundaries in the matrikkel must belong to either one or two parcels, as loose parcel boundaries are not allowed. Parcel boundaries can also be administrative boundaries, that is, they can also represent municipal, county or national borders. The parcel boundary can be represented graphically as: · Line segment, a straight line between two points. · Arc, the circular arc between two points. · Curve, a continuous curved line where the individual point in the sequence has no particular meaning. (used to describe delimitations when these follow natural terrain features). The same parcel boundary must only be represented once in Matrikkelen. |
| Boundary Point | A coordinate-determined point that is identified, described and/or specially marked in the geographic delimitation of the parcel. |
| Helper Line | Helper lines are a form of parcel boundary and are used where a property boundary (matrikkelenhet boundary) is missing. They are entered into the system so that polygons can be formed. Area cannot be stated for properties that lack property boundaries. |
| Cadastre Map WMS | The service contains data from the matrikkel that was previously included in Topografisk Norgeskart. |
| Cadastre Number – Parcel | Unambiguous identification of a matrikkelenhet within a municipality, defined in section 7 of the cadastral regulations. The cadastre number for a ground property, construction property and joint land must consist of a gårdsnummer and a bruksnummer. The bruksnummer is part of a consecutive numbering within the gårdsnummer. The cadastre number for leasehold land must consist of gårdsnummer, bruksnummer and festenummer. The festenummer is part of a consecutive numbering of leasehold land on the ground property or joint land in question. The cadastre number for a condominium unit must consist of gårdsnummer, bruksnummer and seksjonsnummer. If the condominium unit is on leasehold land, the festenummer must be part of the cadastre number. The seksjonsnummer is part of a consecutive numbering of the condominium units on the ground property, construction property or leasehold land in question. |
| Parcels | Parcels (delimited areas/plots of land) with information about which property they belong to. |

The layer contains two sublayers: municipality plan and municipal sub-plan. Both have sublayers for land-use purpose, consideration zones/designated areas, boundaries and legal lines, plan area, legal points and annotations.
About the map layer
The municipal plan is the municipality's overarching governing document. It sets the framework for the plans and measures of the municipal services and for the use and protection of land in the municipality. All municipalities must have a municipal plan. A complete municipal plan consists of both a societal part with an action part and a land-use part. Through the municipal planning strategy, the municipality decides whether to carry out a full revision of all parts of the municipal plan, or whether only certain parts should be revised. The municipal plan must safeguard municipal, regional and national goals, interests and tasks, take the municipal planning strategy as its starting point, and base itself on guidelines and requirements from state and regional authorities. A municipal sub-plan can be drawn up for specific areas, themes or service areas. The municipal plan must have an action part that states how the plan is to be followed up over the next four years or more, and it is revised annually. The dataset is generated from the nationwide copy of municipal plans, which is kept up to date with data from the original plan data in the municipalities. Updating takes place through periodic copying or synchronisation. Use Land-use planning, case processing under the Planning and Building Act, producing statistics, assessment of measures and projects, and access to the municipality's land-use plan. Only the geographic data (vector data) of the land-use part is available for download. Associated plan documents are held in the municipalities' plan registers. The geographic data includes links on the plan areas that point to the plan registers, so that the documents are easily available to users. The web application SePlan (seplan.no) gives an overview of available municipal plans nationwide.

Historical aerial photos
Aerial photos back in time, with one option per year. Enable one year at a time to see the area as it looked that year, and switch between years to date building work, terrain interventions, old road alignments, fills and earlier land use.
The layer has 78 sublayers: Latest imagery, which shows the best available imagery for the area, and one option per year from 1950 to 2026. Latest imagery is on when you add the layer; the years are off until you select one, and they are meant to be used one at a time.
How many years exist, and how far back they reach, varies from place to place. Urban areas are often photographed annually, the rest of the country through cyclical photography every five to ten years, and it normally takes up to one year from the flight to the published year.
The resolution varies, from 0.05 m in newer urban imagery to around 0.2 m in the post-war imagery. The oldest are black and white and have lower geometric accuracy. Use them to see what was there, not to measure boundaries.
About the map layer
Aerial photos back to the 1930s where they exist. Enable a year to see the area as it looked that year, and switch between years to date building work, terrain interventions, old road alignments, fills and earlier land use. "Latest imagery" shows the best available imagery for the area. The number of years and how far back they go varies geographically. Central Oslo has imagery from 1937, Bergen from 1948, while many municipalities start in the 1950s or 1960s. The resolution varies from 0.05 m in newer urban imagery to around 0.2 m in the post-war imagery, and the oldest are black and white with lower geometric accuracy. Use them to see what was there, not to measure boundaries. Urban areas are often photographed annually, the rest of the country through cyclical photography every 5 to 10 years, and it normally takes up to one year from the flight to the published year.

Tips
- Zoning Plans and Municipal plans are WMS layers (Web Map Service) that load data from the municipalities in real time. Loading time can vary with the municipality's server, so give it a few seconds.
- Combine Property prices and Number of transactions with Report: Price statistics from the property panel for a complete price analysis.
- Coverage Map Case Access shows which municipalities Placepoint collects postal lists from for Monitoring. Municipalities without coverage are marked differently.
- Cultural heritage in the Property category is identical to the layer in Risk.
