kiinteistönmuodostusprosessi

Kiinteistönmuodostusprosessi refers to the legal and administrative procedures involved in creating, dividing, or combining land parcels in Finland. This process ensures that land ownership is clearly defined and registered in the official land information system. The primary objective is to establish legally recognized property boundaries and ownership rights.

The process typically begins with an application submitted to the local municipality or the National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos). This application can initiate various types of land formation actions, such as the creation of new plots from existing ones (lohkominen), merging adjacent parcels into a single property (yhdistäminen), or adjusting boundaries (alueen loiventaminen). Depending on the complexity and nature of the request, surveying work is often required to accurately measure and mark the new or adjusted boundaries on the ground.

A key stage involves the preparation of official documents, including survey maps and property descriptions, which detail the new parcel configurations and ownership. These documents are then subject to a formal approval process. Interested parties, such as adjacent landowners, have the right to be heard and can raise objections during this phase. If no objections are raised or if they are resolved, the land formation decision is finalized.

The final step is the registration of the newly formed or altered properties in the Finnish Land Information System. This registration provides legal certainty and allows for transactions such as buying, selling, or mortgaging the properties. The kiinteistönmuodostusprosessi is crucial for orderly land use, urban development, and ensuring the integrity of property rights.
