Key Benefits:
November 20, 2009 (State 1 Er January 2010)
1 This order shall govern the rates of emoluments applicable to the official benefits of the Federal Office of Topography in the fields of national measurements, national geology and geographical names.
2 The unit price of the basic fee, the discount coefficients, the preparation costs and the flat-rate emoluments are set out in the Annex.
The value added tax is collected in addition to the fees payable for the official benefits submitted.
1 No emolument is levied for the use of basic geodata in texts of a strictly scientific nature intended for publication, in particular in research reports or qualifying work (such as the work of diplomas, Master, or doctoral theses).
2 The Federal Office of Topography may waive the collection of fees for certain official benefits or for certain categories of official benefits, for a fixed period of time or not. This provision applies in particular to official benefits for the purposes of:
Anyone who provides geological information may be totally or partially exempted from the emoluments due to the use of the geological information service.
Basic geodata may be used free of charge and without authorization if they are used:
The Order of DMF dated 28 November 1991 concerning the surrender and sale of national cards 1 Is repealed.
1 [RO 1992 90]
The terms of payment entered into by contract on the basis of the current law shall apply until the end of the contract concerned, but not later than 31 December 2014.

A flat-rate fee of 50 francs is charged for the modification of authorisations or licences.
For the authorisation procedure for use issued a posteriori (Art. 27 OGéo), a flat-rate treatment fee of 100 to 400 francs, depending on the time spent, is to be paid in addition to the fee charged for use.
For the decision of destruction or confiscation (art. 33 OGéo), a flat-rate treatment fee of 100 to 500 francs, depending on the time spent, is to be paid in addition to the fee charged for use.
For the benefit of engineers and other experts, the appropriate recommendations of the Conference for the Coordination of Construction and Building Services of Public Works Teachers (KBOB) relating to fees are to be applied. SIA LHO 106 applies to the benefits of geologists.
