Seksjonert

Seksjonert is a Norwegian term used to describe property that has been divided into separate owner-occupied units. The word is the past participle of the verb seksjonere (to section or partition) and is commonly used in real estate, architecture, and property law. A seksjonert property is typically organized into individual sections (seksjoner), each with its own deed, while common areas are shared through a collective arrangement.

In the context of Norwegian property law, a building or parcel can undergo seksjonering to create owner sections. The process involves defining the boundaries of each sekisjon, its size, and its share of the common property and expenses. The legal framework for this division is provided by laws regulating owner-ownership (eierseksjon) and the management of common areas, often administered by an eierseksjonsforening. The seksjonering is registered in the land registry (tinglysning), establishing the legal status of each section and the correspond­ing rights and obligations of the owners.

Seksjonert buildings are common in urban housing, where a single build­ing contains multiple independent units that are sold to different owners. Each owner holds a section with title to their unit, while jointly owning shared facilities such as stairs, elevators, and exterior spaces. In professional and official documents, you may encounter phrases like “en seksjonert eiendom” or “seksjonering av bygget.”

The term is primarily used in Norwegian contexts and may be translated informally as “sectioned” or “divided into owner units” in other languages. See also: eierseksjon, eierseksjonsloven, seksjonering, tinglysning, eierseksjonsforening.
