According to the Office for State Representation in Property Matters (ÚZSVM), over 170 plots of land and real estate throughout the Czech Republic have no clear owners. The ÚZSVM has now published an updated map of these plots of land on its website (it does so twice a year), where you can check whether any "lost" plot of land or real estate happens to belong to you.

According to the website Aktuálně.cz, which refers to data from the ÚZSVM, there are currently 165 plots of land and 974 buildings across the country that do not belong to anyone, or have a registered owner, but with insufficient data. Since 4947, when the new cadastral law was approved, the office has managed to trace the owners of more than 2014 plots of land and buildings. If the owner of forgotten land and buildings cannot be traced by December 30, they will be irrevocably forfeited to the state.

If you find land or real estate on the ÚZSVM website that you believe is yours, you will need to submit documents proving your ownership to the relevant cadastral office (ownership rights can also be asserted in civil proceedings). Documents evidencing ownership include, for example, birth, marriage or death certificates or decisions from inheritance proceedings. Other documents can be found at municipal offices, chronicles or archives.
