Property Registers in Denmark in 4 lines each

• The Cadastral Register (digital from 1986) is a central registration of all property in the country in relation to the law providing for the parcelling out of estates, the law governing agricultural matters and the Forestry Act. It also forms the basis of the Land Registry (Tingbogen) (digital from 2000) and of the Communal Property Data System (see later).
• The Building and Housing Register (BBR) is a nationwide register of all buildings and residences. The register, which was finished in 1977, is updated daily in the municipalities in connection with building casework, etc.
• The Communal Property Data System (ESR) is a nationwide municipal register over real estates. The register contains all information about the estate important for its valuation.
• The Planning Register is a nationwide register for municipal plans, local plans, town plan regulations as well as urban renewal plans and land value areas. Planning data are registered and used by both municipalities and counties as well as by state authorities. In the legislation there are in some cases clear regulations for the planning data to be collected.
• As a fundamental component for activities in the public sector (such as planning, budgeting, provision of social services etc.) and for private enterprises a Central Population Register system (CPR register) was established in 1968. The identification in it is the person number - the CPR number. The register numbers all persons residing in Denmark and includes the address of each individual person. The CPR Road Register contains a complete list of all Danish roads with house number intervals and divisions into administrative districts.
• The tax authorities use the Sales and Valuation Register (SVUR) for calculation and collection of taxes.
• The Central Enterprise Register (CVR) is a central administrative register of all private and public legal entities (enterprises). The register also includes large construction sites.
• All Danish farmers (and their live stocks) are registered in the General Agricultural Register (GLR) and in the Central Domestic Animal Register (CHR) by either a SE (enterprise) number or the user's CPR number. The register contains information about the farm. The earlier mentioned ”field block maps” are linked to the GLR/CHR register.
• The Land (Area) Information System (AIS), produced by the National Environmental Research Institute (www.dmu.dk) and completed in 2000, is the first attempt to collect and integrate geoinformation from different regional and national authorities within the nature and environment field in Denmark. The system contains information about the countryside such as habitat types, land use, hydrology, natural resources, polluted areas, etc. A central element in AIS is the nationwide Land (Area) Information Map (AIS-map) describing the land use in urban and rural areas.
• As examples of other registers can be mentioned the Central Forest Register, the Building Preservation Register, the History of Civilisation Register, State and Local Registers of Statistics, the National Health Register and the Information System of the Road Sector (VIS).
