The amendment introduces mandatory registration in order to access cadastre data. Electronic extracts will be subject to a one-time fee of €6. A new protection measure for property owners is being introduced: you will receive a notification each time your data is accessed.
New rules governing the operation of the cadastral office are coming into force. The aim of these changes is to improve the functioning of the institution and expand the provision of online services to the public. The changes will affect everyone who owns real estate or plans to buy or sell it. They primarily concern the availability and presentation of information from the cadastral system of the Slovak Republic.
Availability of cadastral data
The adjustment will mainly concern access to information. From 1 July 2026, access to data that was previously freely available will be tiered. Users who are not logged in via an electronic ID (eID) card will only see basic information such as land type, area, or title deed number. Other details, as available today, will no longer be publicly accessible. The purpose of this change is to increase security and strengthen the protection of personal data of property owners.
Full information and cadastral extracts
After logging in via eID, it will be possible to view the owner’s name and see encumbrances or active records; however, without further detailed information. A complete title deed, including all data, the exact wording of encumbrances, potential enforcement actions, and the legal basis of acquisition, will be available for a fee according to the official tariff. An electronic extract from the title deed will cost €6. This measure aims to speed up cadastral proceedings and increase state revenue.
New deadlines for electronic submissions
If a client submits a cadastral registration proposal electronically, the processing time will be reduced from 60 to 30 days from the date of submission. The cadastral office will also be obliged to deliver its decision within 15 days of issuance. The entry must be carried out no later than the next working day if the deadline falls on a non-working day. Electronic submissions are expected to result in faster processing without the need to visit the cadastral office in person. A €100 fee will be introduced for reviewing incorrect cadastral entries. If an error is found, a review request may be submitted, and if the cadastral office is found to be at fault, the fee will be refunded.
Electronic submissions and fees
Electronic submissions will be preferential only if submitted directly via the ÚGKK SR portal. The fee for expedited proceedings is increasing to €200 (previously €150). Submissions via the Slovensko.sk portal will be charged at €300. An electronic informational extract from the title deed will cost €6, an electronic copy of the cadastral map €12, and a request for review of an error in cadastral data €100. The fee for a proposal for registration is €50 for electronic submissions, €100 for paper submissions, and €300 for expedited paper submissions.
Conclusion
The cadastral law effective from July 2026 is a response to a real issue: a cyberattack that exposed the vulnerability of the Slovak cadastre system. However, limiting public access to ownership information makes it more difficult for buyers to verify whether the seller is indeed the legal owner of the property. In a situation where the buyer must rely solely on documents provided by the seller, the risk of fraud increases.
