Grenzfeststellung

If you do not know the course of your parcel boundary or if you cannot find boundary signs on your parcel boundary, you can apply for a boundary determination.

Specific reasons for commissioning a boundary determination can be

• an upcoming construction project near the border,
• an unclear border,
• a first-time marking of boundary points by boundary stones or similar (markings) or the renewal of destroyed markings or
• a planned enclosure

be.

If the applicant is not at the same time the owner of the land or the person entitled to a hereditary building:

• Informal power of attorney in the event of authorization by the property owner or hereditary building owner

If the applicant is not also liable for costs:

• Informal confirmation of assumption of costs

You can submit an application for a boundary determination if you

• Property owner
• a person entitled to a hereditary building
• a person with power of attorney (authorized representative) or consent of the owner or the person entitled to a leasehold
• an authority in the performance of its tasks,

are.

The assumption of costs must be clearly stated.

The declaration of liability regulates the assumption of costs by the applicant if the specified cost debtor fails.

The costs for determining the boundary are based on the cost regulations for official surveying(KOVerm).

The costs depend on

• on the number of boundary points determined and marked in the locality,
• the land value (market value) at the time of completion of the service and
• on expenses such as boundary stones, kilometers driven, travel expenses of employees.

After you have placed your order for the boundary determination, you and all parties involved (e.g. the border neighbours concerned) will be informed in writing of the start of the local surveying work.

The existing parcel boundaries and their boundary points will be transferred to the locality to the extent necessary.
In the process, missing boundary markers are replaced or defects in the marking are eliminated. Previously unmarketed boundary points can be permanently marked with boundary markers (demarcation).

A boundary meeting takes place at which the parties involved have the opportunity to comment on the determined boundaries and, if necessary, the markings.

The boundary determination and the demarcation shall be notified to the parties involved and documented in writing in an official boundary document.

Once it has become final, you have legal certainty vis-à-vis your border neighbours about the course of the common parcel boundary. Their ownership rights to the land are secured. The boundary points are marked or, if desired, permanently signalled by boundary markers.

Due to summons and appeal deadlines, it is usually two to three months.

At least one week before the local survey, the persons involved must be summoned.

After the announcement of the results of the survey and the entry of the results in the real estate cadastre, the persons involved have an appeal period of one month.

A boundary determination may be necessary if the boundary is locally unclear and/or boundary markers, such as boundary stones (markings), are missing or their position has been changed, e.g. after a road expansion.

On-the-spot boundary determination:

• by the locally responsible cadastral office of the State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying of Lower Saxony (LGLN) or
• by a publicly appointed surveyor (ÖbVI) licensed in Lower Saxony

be in progress.

The registration of the results of the survey in the real estate cadastre is always carried out by the local cadastral office.
