Freiwilligen Landtausch nach Flurbereinigungsgesetz beantragen

If you would like to exchange agricultural or forestry parcels (or parts thereof) with one or more partners, you can submit an application for a voluntary land exchange in accordance with the Land Consolidation Act.

You can voluntarily exchange agricultural or forestry parcels or parts thereof with exchange partners. This procedure is managed by the land consolidation authority. As a rule, entire parcels of land are exchanged without the need for surveying.

You agree with the exchange partners on the exchange of the parcels and on any associated (financial) compensation. You have a fundamental right to object to the regulations of the voluntary land swap. However, this procedure would not be expedient, as the land swap cannot be realized without mutual agreement.

• Proof of identification (identity card or passport) of the exchange partners
• Power of attorney, if applicable
• Brief description of the project
• If applicable, location sketch / land register excerpts / cadastral excerpts

A written application is a prerequisite for the implementation of a voluntary land exchange in accordance with the Land Consolidation Act. As an owner or as a legal entity managing property, you wish to exchange agricultural or forestry land (if necessary with the appropriate power of attorney).

The procedural costs, for example for actions by the land consolidation authority, are borne by the state. If a pure exchange of parcels of land takes place without value compensation, there are usually no costs for the exchange partners.

If financial compensation is required between the exchange partners in the voluntary land swap, taxes may be payable to the tax authorities.
Any implementation costs incurred in individual cases (e.g. surveying costs or costs for preparing the exchange areas) are borne by you as the exchange partner.

If at least two exchange partners have come together to exchange their land ownership in a voluntary land exchange in accordance with the Land Consolidation Act, they can apply to the land consolidation authority to carry out such a voluntary land exchange.

The land consolidation authority checks whether the requirements for ordering a voluntary land swap are met, then consults with the swap partners and decides whether to order the voluntary land swap.

The procedure can take several months, or even several years if the situation is complicated.
