Cadastral tariff fees to cover register and support costs from 2027

The tariff fees charged for cadastral procedures will cover more costs from 1 January 2027.Svenskforfattningssamling Under SFS 2026:1778, which amends förordningen (1995:1459) om avgifter vid lantmäteriförrättningar, taxeavgifter decided under the fee regulation must also cover the cadastral authority's costs for entry in the fastighetsregistretSvenskforfattningssamling and the costs of Lantmäteriet's responsibilities under 5 § 11 förordningen (2009:946) med instruktion för LantmäterietSvenskforfattningssamling and 2 § förordningen (2026:1776) om ärendehanteringssystem och andra handläggningsstöd hos lantmäterimyndigheterSvenskforfattningssamling.

The entry-in-register element continues an existing rule: taxeavgifter already had to cover the cadastral authority's costs for införande i fastighetsregistret under the wording inserted by SFS 2022:364. From 2027 that element moves into a new 2 a § alongside the second cost element, which is newGOV. The second element concerns Lantmäteriet's duties to support cadastral work at the municipal cadastral authorities: under SFS 2026:1777, 5 § 11 requires Lantmäteriet to provide training, guidance, manuals and similar support for all förrättningsverksamhet at the lantmäterimyndigheterna, and 5 § 12 requires it to provide the technical support under förordningen (2026:1776) for all förrättningsverksamheten at the municipal authorities. Förordningen (2026:1776) itself requires Lantmäteriet to provide the technical case-management support the municipal authorities use and to charge fees for that use, set on a full-cost-recovery basis, smoothed over time and apportioned between the authorities in proportion to turnover.

The same amending ordinance restates the definition of förrättning in 2 §. The wording is unchanged from SFS 2022:364Svenskforfattningssamling: the term covers approval of agreements under 43 § and of amendments under 43 a § anläggningslagen (1973:1149), registration of andelstal under 24 a § of that act, and release of fixtures (frigörande av fastighetstillbehör) under 12 a § ledningsrättslagen (1973:1144). In practice this means parties seeking approval of a joint-facility agreement or amendment, registration of a revised share in a gemensamhetsanläggning, or release of fixtures from a utility easement fall within the fee regulation's concept of a förrättning and therefore within its fee rules.

The provisions behind the widened definition set the practical context. Under 43 § anläggningslagen a property can join or leave a gemensamhetsanläggning, or its andelstal can change, by agreement, with the association representing unaffected properties where the facility is managed by a samfällighetsförening. Under 43 a § such an association can itself decide an amendment that takes the legal effect of a cadastral decision once the lantmäterimyndigheten approves it, provided it does not conflict with the act, with costs shared as reasonable among the member property owners. Under 24 a § the authority can decide in the facility decision that the board of a samfällighetsförening may decide on changes of andelstal where a property's use changes permanently, the board must notify the owner concerned and report the decision for entry in the general part of the fastighetsregistret, and the decision applies only after entry. Under 12 a § ledningsrättslagen the lantmäterimyndigheten can decide that buildings or other fixtures pass with the utility easement, transferring ownership of the installation to the easement holder.

The ordinance was issued on 3 September 2026, published on 9 September 2026, and enters into force on 1 January 2027Svenskforfattningssamling. Its register-entry and support-cost coverage applies to taxeavgifter decided under the fee regulation from that dateSvenskforfattningssamling, and the widened förrättning definition applies to the listed approvals, registrations and releases from the same date.

Legal basis: SFS 2026:1778 amending förordningen (1995:1459) om avgifter vid lantmäteriförrättningar, 2 and 2 a §§, read with 5 § 11 förordningen (2009:946) med instruktion för Lantmäteriet and förordningen (2026:1776) om ärendehanteringssystem och andra handläggningsstöd hos lantmäterimyndigheter.
