The purpose of land consolidation procedures is to change the boundaries of immovable property in such a way as to ensure the reasonable and practical use of the land.
Land consolidation procedures are divided into re-parcelling and simple land consolidation procedures (division of immovable property, merger of immovable property, alteration of the boundaries of immovable property and exchange of parts, and determination of the boundaries of immovable property).
Simple land management procedures are carried out in the electronic cadastre at minu.kataster.ee.
A field is a piece of land with uniform economic use and/or natural conditions that is not marked with boundary markers. The boundaries of fields are determined on the basis of the Estonian Topographic Database (ETAK) or map data.
Fields are divided into:
- arable land,
- forest land,
- natural grassland,
- yard land and
- other land.

Restrictions are objects and zones that limit the use of land. Objects that cause restrictions are registered in the cadastre and areas affected by restrictions are created for their spatial forms.
Objects that cause restrictions include power lines, gas pipes, planning areas, nature conservation areas, etc.
The prerequisite for establishing limited rights in rem and compulsory rights is the creation of spatial data in the PARI (limited rights in rem information system) environment if the restricted area differs from the boundaries of the cadastral unit.
