Service description
A valid plot division is a prerequisite for parcelling the plot. The plot according to the plot division is formed into a property by parcelling. In parcelling, the boundaries of the plot are marked in the terrain and the legal requirements for registering the plot are determined. After the parcels have become legally valid, the plot is entered in the land registry. You can only build on your plot after it has been entered in the land registry.
It takes approximately two to three months from the start of parcelling to the registration.
Who is the service intended for?
The owner of the plot can apply for the parcelling of a plot. The owner must have the title of the property or the parcel that forms the plot.
Instructions for use
Apply for a plot parcelling in the e-service.
Alternatively, you can also fill in a paper application form. Submit the completed application to Urban Environment Customer Service.
What does the service cost?
Depending on the size of the plot and the building rights, parcelling of the plot costs €1,100–1,800.
Background information about the service
A parcelling survey determines the area and the boundaries of the plot. The details of the plot to be parcelled will be entered into the cadastre. Parcelling begins automatically without an application when a legal confirmation has been granted for the transferred part of the property (parcel).
The owner of the property can also request that the property he or she owns be divided into parts for the owner’s own purposes.
Within the local detailed plan areas of cities, the local authority is often responsible for parcelling and cadastre maintenance. In other areas, these are the responsibility of the National Land Survey of Finland.
