How to find a cadastre number by address

What is this

Every real-estate property in Latvia has its own cadastre number — an 11-digit code assigned by the State Land Service. It identifies the property as a whole: one property can include land, buildings and premise groups.

A cadastre designation, in turn, identifies a specific object: 11 digits for a land parcel, 14 for a building, 17 for a premise group (an apartment). In everyday speech both are often called a “cadastre number” — our search understands both and finds the property by either of them.

You need the number in practically every official action involving a property: purchase and lease contracts, Land Register procedures, construction applications, bank valuations and communication with the State Land Service or the municipality.

What you will learn

• The cadastre number by address in a few seconds
• The cadastre designation for land, a building and an apartment
• Exactly where the property boundaries run
• Area, land-use purpose and cadastral value
• Encumbrances and spatial planning
• The property on the map — even if you only know the number

Cadastre number vs. cadastre designation — how they differ

Both codes are made of digits and often look almost identical, so they are easy to mix up. The difference is in what each of them identifies.

The first four digits are always the cadastre territory — for example, Riga property codes start with 0100. You can enter any of these codes in the search box.

How to use

1. Type an address into the search box — street, house number and place.
2. Pick the right address from the list — the map flies to the property and opens its card.
3. The card shows the cadastre number and designation along with the rest of the data.
4. It also works the other way round: enter the number, if you already know it, and find the property on the map.
5. You can also simply click any land parcel or building on the map.
