grunneiendommer

Grunneiendommer is a term used to describe immovable property that comprises land and any permanent structures attached to it, registered as a single property unit in the cadastral system. In Norway and similar Nordic contexts, grunneiendom is the basic unit of property ownership and taxation. Each grunneiendom has a cadastral designation, typically consisting of a gårdsnummer (GNR) and a bruksnummer (BNR), and may be subdivided or reorganized through formal procedures. A grunneiendom can include residential housing, farms, commercial land, or undeveloped plots, and may be subject to rights such as leases or easements.

Ownership and rights: The owner holds the grunneiendom and the permanent structures on it, subject to third-party rights like mortgages, leases, or easements. The property can be leased to others, while the owner retains ownership of the land and any buildings.

Transfers and subdivisions: Buying or selling typically concerns the grunneiendom as a whole, unless the property has been legally subdivided into multiple units with separate numbers. Subdivisions require formal registration and documentation to create independent ownership or use rights.

Valuation and taxation: Grunneiendom territories are valued for municipal property taxation and assessment purposes. Valuation depends on factors such as location, size, land use, infrastructure, and market conditions.
