Map layers · 27 layers
Property, layer by layer over the property.
The Property category brings together the most used layers for property work: the matrikkel, building categories from the matrikkel, zoning plans, cultural heritage and price statistics. These layers are the starting point for most property tasks in Placepoint, from screening plots and checking zoning to price assessments and monitoring building permit coverage.

Click a building to see its building type from the matrikkel in the Building panel.

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.
