📋 Tender Overview
The Act on Amendments and Supplements to the Real Estate Cadastre Act (ZKN-A), which was adopted in September 2025, comes into force on February 22, 2026. The amendments to the law respond to the challenges that have been detected in practice during the less than four years of application of the Real Estate Cadastre Act.The amendment to the law improves the efficiency of recording data on real estate and makes the individual provisions of the law more clear and unambiguous.
During the transitional period, from September 2025 to February 2026, the Geodetic Administration adjusted the cadastre information system. The mandatory rulebook, which is foreseen by the amendment of the law, was adopted, i.e. the Rulebook on the examination for the credit rating of land (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, no. 6/26). Amendments and additions to the Rules on the management of real estate cadastre data are also being prepared.
The main changes introduced by the ZKN-A amendment:
elimination of administrative obstacles, which will relieve the burden on both clients and the administrative authority (e.g. in the case of replacement constructions, deletion of the building at the same time as the entry of a new one, simplification of changes and collection of special data about the owners),
optimization of the engineering part of cadastral procedures
(independent acquisition of documents from other institutions, access to the cadastre information system also for employees of geodetic companies),
more efficient and clearly defined rules in determining land ratings
and carrying out examinations for obtaining authorization for land appraisal and regulating the management of accompanying records,
arranging access to additional data of the land register in the cadastre information system (e.g. notations of prohibitions due to unauthorized constructions) and strengthening the electronic connection between the geodetic administration and the land register,
the introduction of exceptions for the production of reports in court proceedings,
harmonization with other related legislation (e.g. restrictions on plots according to spatial legislation, marking of plots before the implementation of interventions in the space, or before the planned spatial arrangements),
optimization of real estate registration procedures at all levels
(for customers, the engineering and administrative part of cadastral procedures), which brings faster implementation of procedures with the same legal security for owners.
The amendment to the law in Article 37 brings changes regarding the management of special data about the owner in the real estate cadastre. On buildings with one part of the building, the owner information labeled special owner information for parts of the building will no longer be maintained in the real estate cadastre.
These are owners of parts of buildings (apartments, business premises, etc.) that are not entered in the land register, but have been entered into the real estate cadastre as special information about the owners from the real estate register, where they were entered at the request of the owners or users in the real estate inventory 2006/2007 and subsequent maintenance of this data. If a condominium is established, the owners of parts of the building are always taken from the land register and no specific information about the owners is kept. The reason for ceasing to keep this data is because condominiums are not established on buildings with one part, and ownership of the building is taken from the connected plot.
The amendment to the Real Estate Cadastre Act means progress in the field of recording real estate data, which is already evident in the resolution of requests within the statutory deadlines and the efforts of the Geodetic Administration to improve the quality of real estate data.
