Zala Megyei Kormányhivatal

What Zala Megyei Kormányhivatal does

Zala Megyei Kormányhivatal Földhivatala (Zala County Government Office Land Office) is a Hungarian county-level government administrative entity headquartered in Zalaegerszeg, with an additional district office in Nagykanizsa. The office is the statutory authority responsible for real estate registry (ingatlan-nyilvántartás), land surveying (földmérés), and land protection (földvédelem) across Zala County, operating under the professional supervision of the Földművelésügyi és Vidékfejlesztési Minisztérium (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) Földügyi és Térinformatikai Főosztálya. The organization was established in 2007 and was renamed from Zala Megyei Földhivatal to its current designation in June 2011 when it was integrated into the broader county government structure. The office is led by hivatalvezető (Director) dr. Mészáros Levente and operates with approximately 22 employees.

The office's core technology platform is the nationwide TakarNet land registry computer network, modernized through the TakarNet24 project to permit broader online access. Document authenticity is delivered through the e-hiteles system, which applies institutional electronic signatures and timestamps validated via the e-Szignó program; electronically authenticated property certificates have legal probative value only in digital form and lose validity when printed. Citizens access services through the Ügyfélkapu (Client Portal), with the Földhivatal Online service launched in June 2011 enabling online requests for property documents and map copies. The office is supported by the Földmérési és Távérzékelési Intézet (Institute of Surveying and Remote Sensing) for portal programming and operations.

The revenue model is fee-based on statutory government service charges, with pricing set per document: full authenticated (e-hiteles) property documents at 3,600 Ft, non-authenticated property documents at 1,000 Ft, non-authenticated map copies at 2,400 Ft, and the first section of the property register available free of charge (with 20 free downloads permitted per inspection). Revenue is supplemented by Ministry budget allocation and project-based grants such as the 2009 TIOP-3.3.1 grant of 29,240,000 Ft for accessibility improvements. Customer segments include citizens of Zala County (primary, for property registration and documentation), registered TakarNet professional users (banks, notaries, lawyers, municipalities, real estate offices, planning/design companies, totaling 8,000+ registered users as of 2008), and government institutions requiring property data for administrative purposes.
