Hrsz

Hrsz is the abbreviation for helyrajzi szám, the cadastral parcel number used in Hungary to uniquely identify a specific plot of land within a municipality. It serves as a primary reference in land registry records and official property-related documents.

The helyrajzi szám is issued and maintained by the local land registry office (földhivatal) and appears on deeds, mortgages, and land registry extracts. It is essential for describing property boundaries in legal transactions, taxation, planning, and land management. While the hrsz provides a stable identifier, the exact boundaries are depicted on the cadastral map and may be refined by surveying.

A typical hrsz consists of a main parcel number and, if applicable, a sub-parcel indicator, commonly separated by a slash (for example, 1234/2). The main number identifies the broader parcel; the sub-number denotes subdivisions created by partitioning the parcel. Some parcels may have multiple sub-parcels, each with its own hrsz, and occasionally changes in the subdivision status require updates to the numbers.

The horasz is distinct from a street address. An address can exist for one or more buildings on a parcel, but the hrsz uniquely identifies the land unit within the land registry. Changes to parcels, such as merging or subdivision, result in new or amended hrsz entries and updated registry records.

Access to hrsz information is typically available through official land registry services and extracts. It is a fundamental reference for real estate transactions, land use planning, and property taxation in Hungary.
