  • regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure on the real estate serial numbering,
  • act on spatial information infrastructure.

The plate should be fixed on the front wall of the building facing the street or access road, preferably near the entrance to the house. Moreover, the number must be visible after dark, and if the property is located in the interior of the property, the plate should also be placed on the fence of the property, e.g. by the gate or wicket. In addition to the number, the name of the street or square must also appear on the plate.
