The Office for Government Representation in Property Affairs (ÚZSVM), together with the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre (ČÚZK), maintains a list of properties lacking a properly identified owner.
Most entries of this kind date back to 1948–1989, when property ownership records in the public register weren't maintained at all for a time, or were only kept in a simplified form.
An exception applies to properties where a supplementary probate proceeding was requested with the court by the end of 2023 — those remain recorded under an unknown owner until the court rules. That's exactly the group still relevant for later searching.
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| District | Plzeň-jih |
| Cadastral area | Přeštice |
| Land title number | 482 |
| Owner's name | Novák Jan |
Some entries may also include a partial date of birth or address — but for most entries these fields are missing, which is exactly why the owners are "insufficiently identified."
While the program was running, ÚZSVM published updates twice a year. The last publicly available version is dated 1 March 2024 — since then it's more of a wind-down of remaining cases than a live, regularly updated list.
