RDPPF

RDPPF / ÖREB cadastre: what is it?

The RDPPF — Public-Law Restrictions on Landownership — is Switzerland's official cadastral extract listing, parcel by parcel, the binding restrictions set by public law: zoning, protected perimeters, building lines, noise-sensitivity levels or water protection. Published through the federal ÖREB cadastre, it is authoritative for anyone buying, renovating or building.
