fordelingstal

A fordelingstal is a concept used in Norwegian property law, specifically concerning the division of property and the distribution of costs and rights associated with it. It translates to "distribution number" or "allocation number" and is primarily relevant in the context of condominiums and other forms of shared ownership.

The fordelingstal is determined when a property is divided into individual units, such as apartments in a building. It reflects the proportionate share of the common property and the associated liabilities that each unit owner is responsible for. This number is typically calculated based on the size of the unit, its location within the building, or other agreed-upon criteria.

The fordelingstal is crucial for several administrative and financial aspects. It dictates how common expenses, such as maintenance, repairs, and insurance for shared areas, are divided among the unit owners. The higher the fordelingstal for a particular unit, the larger its share of these common costs. Conversely, it also often influences the voting rights of unit owners in general meetings, where decisions regarding the property are made. A unit with a higher fordelingstal may have a greater influence in these matters.

The fordelingstal is formally registered and can be found in the property's deed or the condominium association's articles of association. It is a key element in ensuring a fair and equitable distribution of responsibilities and benefits among all owners in a shared property.
