The heinum field does NOT match iceaddr's hnitnum. Join on parsed address components:
-- Parse address from kaupskra
TRIM(regexp_extract(HEIMILISFANG, '^([^0-9]+)', 1)) as street_name,
TRY_CAST(regexp_extract(HEIMILISFANG, '([0-9]+)', 1) AS INTEGER) as house_num,
upper(regexp_extract(HEIMILISFANG, '[0-9]+([a-zA-Z]?)$', 1)) as house_letter
-- Join to iceaddr.stadfong
ON lower(street_name) = lower(heiti_nf)
AND house_num = husnr
AND postnr = postnr
AND house_letter = COALESCE(upper(bokst), '')
Match rate: ~97%

~25 MB ZIP containing a single ESRI Shapefile (LANDEIGNASKRA_AFHENDING.*) with 89,050 parcels in CRS EPSG:3057 (ISN2016 Lambert). Script: scripts/landeignaskra.py (download, extract, info, build, lookup, discover).
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
LANDE_NR | Landsnúmer (parcel ID, 6–7 digit integer; keep leading zeros when expressing as 7-char) |
SVF_NR | Municipality number |
GERD | Type — Lóð (85,060 lots), Jörð (3,443 farms), Þjóðlenda (270 public) |
SKIKI_NR, SKIKI_AUDK | Sub-parcel ID and share code (e.g. "1/1", "4/277") |
L_ST_SKRAD / L_ST_MAELD | Registered vs. measured area |
DAGS_INN, DAGS_LEIDR | Registration / last-correction dates |
GERD, ADFERD_INN, NAKVAEMNI, HEIMILD | Provenance metadata |
The processed CSV (data/processed/landeignaskra.csv) adds landsnr (7-char zero-padded), lon, lat (WGS84 centroids).
The .dbf file is ISO-8859-1; pyogrio / geopandas will read it as Latin-1 and surface text as mojibake (Lóð for Lóð). Either decode with ISO-8859-1 explicitly or accept that the GERD / Icelandic text columns are cosmetic.
| Source ID | Length | Convert to landsnúmer |
|---|---|---|
| búsnúmer (farm ID, Ministry of Agriculture — see maelabord_landbunadarins) | 8 digits (displayed as 7 after leading-zero strip) | int(busnr) // 10 |
Example: búsnúmer 16656491 (Gunnbjarnarholt 2, top cattle recipient 2026) → landsnúmer 1665649. Caveat: only ~3,443 of the 89k Landeignaskrá parcels are GERD='Jörð'; many active farm búsnúmer correspond to landnúmer that exist in iceaddr's Staðfangaskrá (~138k landnúmer, including historical farms) but not yet in HMS's surveyed registry. For farm point-location, iceaddr is the practical primary source; Landeignaskrá gives you parcel polygons when you need them.

hms.is is fronted by Vercel with an anti-bot checkpoint. curl and httpx get the "Vercel Security Checkpoint" HTML. Use Playwright (headless Chromium) to bypass./api/... endpoints — inspect via DevTools Network tab while Playwright has the page loaded. Pattern similar to landlaeknir scraper but the source is custom (not Power BI).Complementary sources:
