Parcel Lookup

Retrieving ownership, area, coordinates and designation from TKGM systems using province/district/neighbourhood/block/parcel numbers.

Parcel query refers to searching a property's plot (ada/parcel) information through TKGM's official databases — either via block-parcel reference numbers or by clicking on a map. The Turkish Land Registry's parselsorgu.tkgm.gov.tr system and the e-Government-accessible TKGM MEGSİS (Spatial Real Estate System) are the primary sources.

Information accessible via query: the property's province, district, neighborhood, block/parcel numbers, area, land type (land/farm/vineyard etc.), sheet (pafta) number, coordinates and map position. However, ownership information (who owns it) is only visible to the owner themselves or their authorised representative — per Personal Data Protection Law 6698 and Land Registry Regulation art. 100.

Platforms like Drozero integrate this data: the user clicks on the map, sees the parcel boundaries, obtains the block-parcel numbers and accesses planning values like zoning status, KAKS/TAKS. In professional use, authorised institutions can pull data via TKGM's TAKBİS/MEGSİS Web Services APIs.

Important: A parcel query alone is not the same as a title deed — official land records require an application to the Land Registry Directorate. Additionally, the boundaries displayed on the map may not perfectly match physical boundaries on the ground; for certainty, a land survey application (aplikasyon) — physical staking on the ground — is required.

Examples

  • 1.A buyer interested in a plot in Kadıköy, İstanbul queries parselsorgu.tkgm.gov.tr with 'Kadıköy-Bostancı-Block 123-Parcel 45' and views the area and zoning map.
  • 2.A Drozero user clicks on a parcel on the map and instantly sees the block-parcel, zoning status, KAKS/TAKS, setback distances.
  • 3.A real estate agent uses the e-Government 'Parcel Query' service to show their client the parcel sketch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see the owner's name through a parcel query?expand_more
No. Per KVKK and Land Registry Regulation art. 100, ownership information is accessible only to the owner, their authorised lawyer or by court order. A parcel query only shows the **property's physical and administrative information** (location, area, block-parcel, type). To establish title, you must obtain an official plan (çap) or title extract from the Land Registry.
The parcel boundaries appear incorrect on the map — what should I do?expand_more
Digital sheet (pafta) data is updated over time but may not 100% match the ground. For precise boundary determination, request an **application (aplikasyon)** — a surveyed staking — from the cadastre directorate; this is a paid procedure. In judicial proceedings, expert witness application reports are the basis.
Is the parcel query paid?expand_more
TKGM's parselsorgu.tkgm.gov.tr and e-Government services are **free**. However, official chart documents, title deed extracts and application surveys incur fees. Third-party platforms like Drozero typically offer free viewing but paid analysis/reports.
Can I query a parcel by coordinates?expand_more
Yes — TKGM Parcel Query accepts map clicks or direct lat-long entry. WGS84 or ITRF96 coordinate systems are accepted. Alternatively, you can copy coordinates from a Google Maps link and paste them into the query.
