Landesrecht durchsuchen
ris_landesrechtSearch Austrian provincial laws by title, section, or full-text keywords, filter by federal state, and retrieve consolidated versions as of a specific date.
Instructions
Search Austrian state/provincial laws (Landesrecht).
Use this tool to find laws enacted by Austrian federal states (Bundeslaender).
Search strategy: "titel" and "paragraph" (together with "bundesland") are the precise entry points — prefer them whenever the law or the section is known. "suchworte" runs a broad full-text search and the RIS API returns those hits ordered alphabetically by law title, not by relevance, so a common term buries the relevant law under thousands of results. Austrian law often splits one topic across several statutes and across the federal/state divide — when the topic turns out to be federal rather than state law (warranty, for example, sits in the VGG and in §§ 922 ff ABGB), search it with ris_bundesrecht instead.
Example queries:
suchworte="Bauordnung", bundesland="Salzburg" -> Find state building law
titel="Bauordnung", bundesland="Wien", paragraph="1" -> Specific section
suchworte="Naturschutz", bundesland="Tirol", fassung_vom="2020-01-01" -> Version as of a date
