Kiinteistötoimituksen

Kiinteistötoimitus is a Finnish legal term referring to a land survey or property division process. It is a formal procedure regulated by Finnish law, typically involving the division of a larger parcel of land into smaller, independent plots or the adjustment of existing property boundaries. The process is administered by the National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos).

The primary purpose of a kiinteistötoimitus is to establish legally recognized and clearly defined property boundaries. This can be necessary for various reasons, such as when selling a portion of land, creating new building plots, resolving boundary disputes, or consolidating multiple parcels. The process ensures that each property has its own unique registration number and documented boundaries.

A kiinteistötoimitus involves several steps, usually beginning with an application submitted to the National Land Survey. A land surveyor then conducts an on-site inspection to survey the area, determine the new boundaries, and prepare the necessary documentation, including maps and legal descriptions. Public notification is often part of the process, allowing affected parties to raise objections. The final decision is made by the National Land Survey, and the new property information is registered in the official land register. This process is crucial for property ownership and land use planning in Finland.
