Durchführung einer Grundstücksvermessung (Grenzfeststellung und Abmarkung) anfragen

If you do not know the exact boundary of your property, you can apply for a boundary determination and demarcation.

The actual course of the boundary is not always known in the locality and knowledge of the exact course can be forgotten, for example due to a change of ownership.

By determining or restoring the boundary points and marking them out, the boundary is made visible again in the locality and legal certainty is created. Conflicts can thus be avoided.

The difference between boundary determination and boundary re-establishment is that boundary points that have already been determined in the past are re-established. A reduced fee is charged for this.

For boundary determination and boundary re-establishment, the position of the boundary points is determined by the publicly appointed surveyor or the lower surveying and geoinformation authority on the basis of the evidence in the property register. If not already present, the boundary points are then marked on site. Any damaged or incorrectly positioned boundary markers are corrected and lost boundary markers are replaced.

The results of the boundary determination, boundary restoration and demarcation are then documented in the real estate cadastre.

Marking can also be applied for on its own. This is necessary if the local marking was postponed as part of an earlier real estate survey.

• Application for boundary determination and demarcation
• In the event that the person making the application is not also the owner of the land:
  • informal, non-formal consent from the landowner, or
  • in the case of an authorized person: informal, non-formal proof of authorization
• In the event that the person submitting the application is not also the person liable for the costs:
  • informal, non-formal confirmation of assumption of the costs

You can submit an application for boundary determination and demarcation if you:

• owner of the land or landowner
• a person entitled to build or use the land
• have consent from the above group of persons or
• are authorized by the above group of persons

are authorized.

• The fee depends on the number of boundary points to be determined or restored and the land value.
• The minimum fee for the determination of a boundary point is EUR 2,077.50.
• The minimum fee for restoring a boundary point is EUR 2,018.
• Additional fees are charged for the continuation of the Official Real Estate Cadastre Information System (ALKIS).

You submit the application for boundary determination and demarcation to a competent authority (publicly appointed surveyor or lower surveying and geoinformation authority). You will be contacted if any information is missing or unclear. In this case, submit the missing or adjusted information.

The competent authority will carry out a real estate survey to determine the requested boundary points on the basis of the evidence from the real estate cadastre and mark them on site. You and other owners, hereditary building owners and beneficiaries whose land or structures need to be surveyed will be notified of the local surveying work required for this. You and the affected rights holders will then be invited to a boundary appointment at which a hearing will be held and the boundary determination and demarcation will be announced.

Once the boundary determination and demarcation have become final, i.e. the objection period has expired, the competent authority draws up the survey document. The lower surveying and geoinformation authority updates the Official Real Estate Cadastre Information System (ALKIS) on the basis of these surveying regulations.
You will receive a fee notice from the responsible authority. You will also receive a separate fee notice from the lower surveying and geoinformation authority for the transfer to ALKIS.
