Why the land register extract matters when checking a property in Fribourg
The land register extract shows who owns a parcel and which easements or mortgages encumber it — information the PLR cadastre does not provide. In the canton of Fribourg, the land register sits under the Finance Directorate.

The four honesty states
Every fact in an alpflo register brief carries exactly one of these states.
Confirmed in an official Swiss register. Direct source.
Register queried; nothing on this parcel. The absence is documented.
Derived from a model or an API: real, but not directly from the register. Please verify.
Hit an edge case. Stated honestly at the boundary, never silently discarded.
