About Lantmäteriet
Lantmäteriet is the name of the Swedish mapping, cadastral and land registration authority. We secure the ownership of Sweden’s real property, makes geodata available in society and lay the foundation for a functioning national economy. We actively drive, in collaboration with others, the digitization of the Swedish planning and building process. Lantmäteriet has mapped out Sweden since 1628.

- building and developing real properties and society’s infrastructure.
- buying, owning, and selling real properties.
- searching, finding, and using geographic information and real prop-erty information.
