Parzellenfläche

Parzellenfläche refers to the area of a specific plot of land, typically within a larger parcel or property. In Germany, and often in other countries with similar land registry systems, a "Parzelle" is a distinct, legally defined unit of land. The Parzellenfläche is therefore the measured extent of this individual unit, usually expressed in square meters or hectares. This measurement is crucial for various legal, administrative, and practical purposes. For instance, building regulations often stipulate minimum or maximum Parzellenflächen for different types of construction. Property taxes are frequently calculated based on the Parzellenfläche. When buying or selling land, the Parzellenfläche is a fundamental piece of information defining the size of the transaction. It is distinct from the total area of a larger property if that property is divided into multiple Parzellen. The precise determination of Parzellenfläche involves surveying and is officially recorded in land registers. This clear definition ensures unambiguous land ownership and facilitates urban planning and land management.
