Themes and layers
ZBGIS is split into themes. For the cadastre you need “Real Estate Cadastre”, which turns on the cadastral map. In it you can toggle:
- register C parcels – boundaries and numbers as on the ground,
- register E parcels – original ownership parcels,
- buildings and their registry numbers,
- cadastral area boundaries,
- orthophoto as a background (aerial image).
Parcel numbers appear only when zoomed in a lot (roughly from 1 : 2,000). If you cannot see them, zoom in.
Measuring distance and area
The toolbar has a measuring tool. Click on the map to draw a line or an area and ZBGIS shows the length in metres and the area in m². The result is indicative – the official parcel area is in its detail.
Printing and sharing
Print the map to PDF with the print tool. To share, copy the page address – it contains the position and scale. A link to a specific parcel looks like …/mapka/sk/kataster/detail/kataster/parcela-c/{area code}/{number}.
- The cadastral map may not match the orthophoto exactly – differences of a few metres are common.
- A vector map (VKM) is not available everywhere; some areas only have a less precise non-numeric map.
- The area recorded in the cadastre may differ from the area measured on the map.
A simpler cadastral map: Kataster24
The Kataster24 cadastral map uses the same state data without themes or locking. C and E parcels, buildings, encumbrances, orthophoto and risk maps (landslides, radon, floods, noise) are one click away, and on mobile the map goes full screen.
