Kiinteistörajoilla

Kiinteistörajoilla refers to property boundaries in Finland. These boundaries define the legal limits of ownership for a piece of land and are crucial for land use, construction, and legal transactions. The establishment and regulation of these boundaries are governed by Finnish property law and administered by the National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos).

The process of defining or confirming property boundaries often involves a land survey (lopputarkastus tai rajankäynti). Land surveyors use precise measurements and historical records to determine the exact location of boundary markers. These markers can be physical objects like stones, iron pins, or concrete pillars, or they can be defined by natural features like rivers or trees.

Understanding property boundaries is essential for landowners. It prevents disputes with neighbors, ensures compliance with zoning regulations, and is a necessary step when buying, selling, or subdividing land. Accurate boundary information is recorded in the official land register. Any alterations or confirmations of boundaries require a formal procedure involving the National Land Survey.
