Property division - submit declaration
When a property is divided, a part of the property is written off in the land register and registered as an independent property.
Special cases
The division of the property must be authorised by the municipality or expropriation authority if your property isproperty:
- in a reallocation area,
- Redevelopment area or urban development area or
- is affected by expropriation proceedings that have been initiated.
Tip: If you have questions for the lower building law authority, you shouldthe property, such as the district, parcel and plot number. You can obtain these from the lower surveying authority.
Responsible authority
The land registry responsible for the municipality or town in which the property is located.
Note: In Baden-Württemberg, unlike in other federal states, the land registry is not located at the local courts, but at the municipalities. In the course of the introduction of the computerised land register, the land register offices of some municipalities were abolished and their districts assigned to the land register offices of other municipalities. You can find out whether the municipality in which the property is located has a land registry or where else you need to go by contacting the municipal administration there.
The Waiblingen district court is generally responsible for entries in the land register for properties located in the Stuttgart district. This does not currently apply to the district of Botnang, whose land register matters are assigned to the Böblingen district court.
Further exceptions will be added in the course of the land registry reform.
However, you can also inspect and obtain extracts from the land register at the central land register inspection centre of the city of Stuttgart, which is located at the city surveyor's office.
