Estonia 🇪🇪

Parcels in Estonia come from the Maa-amet (Estonian Land Board) cadastre WFS (kataster:ky_kehtiv), which returns the parcel geometry together with the county, municipality and settlement in a single call.

from plot_finder import Plot

plot = Plot(country="EE", plot_id="78401:114:0086")

Querying

The plot_id is the cadastral unit identifier katastritunnus (e.g. 78401:114:0086).

Plot(country="EE", plot_id="78401:114:0086")

Input coordinates are longitude, latitude (EPSG:4326) by default. Pass in_srid=3301 for L-EST97 coordinates.

Plot(country="EE", x=24.7536, y=59.437)   # (lon, lat)

The address is geocoded with OpenStreetMap Nominatim.

Plot(country="EE", address="Viru väljak 4, Tallinn")

Attributes

Sourced from the Estonia class:

Attribute Estonian term Example
county maakond Harju maakond
municipality omavalitsus Tallinn
settlement asustusüksus Kesklinna linnaosa

Notes

  • Area is the geodesic area on the WGS84 ellipsoid; it matches the Land Board's official pindala within rounding.
  • The WFS uses North/East axis order for coordinate filters; plot-finder handles the transformation internally.

Errors

Exception When
MaaametError a Maa-amet WFS request failed
PlotNotFoundError no parcel at the point / for the katastritunnus
AddressNotFoundError the address could not be geocoded
