The Register is part of the Land Information System. Types Real estates listed in section are listed in the Register, amongst others State-owned forest lands, conservation areas founded on a State-owned area in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act (1096/1996) and public water areas (274/1998). The Real Estate Register of real estate and other register units is kept by municipalities. The keeper of the Real Estate Register may change the type of real estate at the request or with the consent of the owner. The conditions for the change are that the new type of real estate is not in conflict with the use of the real estate and that it does not cause inconsistencies in the Real Estate System. The land survey offices of the National Land Survey of Finland are responsible for the keeping of the Real Estate Register in accordance with the orders issued by the central administration of the National Land Survey of Finland. However, in areas covered by a town plan, excluding shore plan areas referred to in Chapter 10 of the Land Use and Building Act (132/1999), the Real Estate Register is kept by the cadastral surveyor of the municipality if the municipality decides to keep the Real Estate Register. The Real Estate Register shall be public. The right to access and copy Real Estate Register information at the office of the register keeper is open to all. (19 sections)
