  • Public service

A valid plot division is a prerequisite for parcelling the plot. The plot according to the plot division is formed into a property by parcelling. In parcelling, the boundaries of the plot are marked in the terrain and the legal requirements for registering the plot are determined. After the parcels have become legally valid, the plot is entered in the land registry. You can only build on your plot ...

Do the following

Apply for a plot parcelling in the e-service. Alternatively, you can also fill in a paper application form. Submit the completed application to Urban En­vi­ron­ment Customer Service.

To whom and on what terms

Parcelling surveys can only be carried out in local detailed plan areas with binding plot division.

The owner of the plot can apply for the parcelling of a plot. The owner must have the title of the property or the parcel that forms the plot.

Background information

A parcelling survey determines the area and the boundaries of the plot. The details of the plot to be parcelled will be entered into the cadastre. Parcelling begins automatically without an application when a legal confirmation has been granted for the transferred part of the property (parcel).

The owner of the property can also request that the property he or she owns be divided into parts for the owner’s own purposes.

Within the local detailed plan areas of cities, the local authority is often responsible for parcelling and cadastre maintenance. In other areas, these are the responsibility of the National Land Survey of Finland.
