Boundary demarcations

The cadastral survey fee of boundary demarcation is determined as follows: 

A) Normal demarcation: 

  • €1100 for each visited point that determines the border
  • €170 for each register unit involved in the demarcation
  • €0.65 for each starting metre of border subject to the demarcation

B) Demarcation in accordance with section 108 of the Real Estate Formation Act (transfer or repair of a boundary marker):

  • €160 for each boundary marker built, moved or repaired
  • €110 for each register unit involved in the demarcation

A determining boundary point is a boundary marker or point that determines the checked boundary. The boundary points of a natural boundary are not counted unless there is a boundary stone built in the boundary point. If the position of the boundary point is represented by two or more boundary markers, the number of determining boundary points is counted as one.

Demarcation of other than a register unit specified in the Real Estate Formation Act and demarcation that is performed in connection to a time-based survey are subject to a cadastral survey fee, which depends on the working hours used.

Example 1:

The boundary markers 11 and 12 indicate the boundary between properties A and B, of which marker 11 has disappeared. The boundary is 100 m long. A new boundary marker will be built in place of the missing boundary marker 11 in the demarcation. The demarcation will be executed between markers 11 and 12. Assistants are not required and the cadastral surveyor will bring the boundary markers.

Fees:

  • Boundary markers or points determining the boundary: 2 markers, €110 per one = €220
  • Properties concerned: 2 properties, €170 per one = €340
  • Length of the boundary subject to demarcation: 100 m, €0.65 per metre = €65

Total: €625

The boundary marker cost is included in the price. The fact that assistants are not needed does not affect the price. Usually, each property owner pays half of the costs.

Example 2: 

A demarcation is performed on property A against properties B and C at boundary 1-2-3-4. Of these, boundary markers 2 and 3 are missing. A new boundary marker will be built to replace marker 2, and the position of boundary marker 3 will be determined as a boundary point. The boundary checked against B is 320 m long, and 80 m long against C. The boundary marker 5 between properties A and D also needs to be moved because of a new road. A surveyor of the National Land Survey will be the assistant, the forest boundary between properties A and B will be opened in connection to the demarcation, and the cadastral surveyor will bring the boundary markers.

Fees:

  • Boundary markers or points determining the boundary: 5 markers (4 markers €110 each, 1 marker €160) = €600
  • Properties concerned: 4 markers (3 markers €170 each, 1 marker €110) = €620
  • Length of boundary subject to demarcation: 400 m, €0.65 per metre = €260

Total: €1,480
