The map layers

Every layer comes from a public government service and is shown as that body publishes it. This page records who issues each one, what it covers, and where its limits are.

What an absence of a mark means

If a layer shows nothing at your point, that means the point is outside that dataset — not that the hazard, restriction or declaration does not exist. Several registers cover only some districts, and some are updated rarely.

Cadastre

Cadastral map

On by default. Draws only when zoomed in: blocks from ~1:30,000, parcels and numbers from ~1:10,000. Further out it stays ticked but empty — zoom to your area.

Buildings

Draws from ~1:30,000 scale.

Sheet / plan grid

Each scale draws within its own zoom range.

Surveyed parcels (sheet/plan)

Source: © Department of Lands and Surveys, Republic of Cyprus

The Department of Lands and Surveys' surveyed-parcel polygons — sporadic surveys and surveyed parcels — each carrying the Sheet and Plan no. of its survey. The click answers from the sporadic-survey layer with the Sheet and Plan no. at the point. This is NOT a special-plan (ΕΣ) number: the Department publishes no ΕΣ numbers in any open layer.

Postal codes

Draws from ~1:20,000 scale.

Planning

Planning zones

Zone boundaries from ~1:50,000; zone codes (e.g. Κα6) from ~1:10,000. Click for the zone's details.

Green public open space

Source: © Department of Lands and Surveys, Republic of Cyprus

Parcels the Department of Lands and Surveys records as green public open space — a subset of the «State land» layer, filtered by the same server. It is a Land Registry fact about ownership and use, NOT a planning green zone: zones live in «Planning zones».

Beach protection zone

Limassol: the EOA's live service. Nicosia: a register copy (edition 07/2026, 712 records). Larnaca: a register copy (12/08/2026, 10 records) — 6 matched from the register's own references and 4 identified by a chartered surveyor, because the register publishes no section. Famagusta: a register copy (12/08/2026, 20 records — 15Α need repair, 15Β dangerous). Paphos publishes no register.
