Grundstücksvermessung (Grenzfeststellung) anfragen

If the boundary of your property is unclear and / or the boundary marks are missing, you can have the border points bindingly proven for your property transferred to the location as part of a boundary determination procedure or by means of a boundary display.

If the boundary of your property is unclear and / or the boundary marks (e.g. boundary stones) are missing, you can have the boundary points bindingly proven for your property in the property cadastre transferred to the location as part of a boundary determination procedure. If desired by you, the boundary points determined in this way can also be permanently marked (marketed) in the locality by boundary marks.

For the demarcation:

The legislature leaves the landowners free to identify the boundary points by demarcation in the locality.

A boundary point is marked by a demarcation with the help of a fixed, permanently and locally recognizable boundary sign. These boundary signs (e.g. boundary stones, plastic marks or metal bolts) serve to clarify the course of the border on site and can thus also make a lasting contribution to border peace, e.g. also to avoid neighbourhood disputes over the course of the borders.

Therefore, you should consider having the demarcation of the boundary points carried out at the same time. She will be happy to advise the commissioned surveying office on this.

In the case of a demarcation applied for later, which in turn may only be carried out by an authorised surveying authority in a new administrative procedure, the boundary points to be marked must always be determined first, which may result in additional costs.

To the limit display:

The border notification is not a legally regulated procedure. The boundary points are marked by temporary markings. However, these are not legally binding demarcations, but merely indicate the course of the border in the locality.
