határmegjelölés

Határmegjelölés, meaning boundary marking in Hungarian, refers to the process of establishing and physically demarcating the precise legal boundaries of a property. This is a crucial step in land ownership, particularly when disputes arise, when land is sold or inherited, or when construction is planned. The process typically involves a licensed surveyor who uses legal documentation, cadastral maps, and on-site measurements to pinpoint the exact location of property lines.

Once the boundaries are determined, they are marked with physical monuments. These markers can take various forms, including concrete pillars, iron rods, stones, or specialized boundary posts. The placement and type of these markers are usually governed by local regulations and cadastral office requirements. The surveyor then creates an official survey map, often called a "határrajz" or "határbizonyítvány," which visually represents the property boundaries and the location of the markers. This document serves as legal proof of the boundary locations.

The purpose of határmegjelölés is to prevent future boundary disputes between neighboring landowners, ensure clear ownership rights, and facilitate accurate land registration. It provides certainty and legal security for property owners, clarifying exactly where their land begins and ends. This process is essential for any land transaction or development, as it forms the basis for all subsequent legal and physical uses of the property.
