Zoning Plans, already linked to every property.

The zoning plan is the detailed planning instrument under the Planning and Building Act, and the single document that binds a specific property to specific building and construction permits. The dataset covers both area zoning (larger areas) and detailed zoning (single projects or smaller areas), as well as state zoning plans where the state has taken over the authority. The map service is built on the national copy that Kartverket synchronises from the municipalities' own plan data.

For developers and designers, the zoning plan is the first thing to read in a plot valuation: which purposes are set, what the maximum BRA (usable floor area) or BYA (built-up area) is, the eaves height and ridge height, and which phasing requirements or consideration zones apply. The dataset is often read together with Municipal plans (higher level) and Regulation plan proposals (in progress) for a full picture of plan status, and is closely linked to case access (Saksinnsyn). Special extracts: Regulatory Plans (Oslo) gives more detail in Oslo than the national copy. The colours and hatching on the plan map are explained in the zoning plan legend.

Daily updates apply to municipalities with geosynchronisation. For other municipalities, plan data is updated once or twice a year.
