Cadastral procedures
All changes that are made to a real property unit must be done through a cadastral procedure. New properties can be formed and existing properties reformed; a cadastral procedure can also involve checking boundaries and creating rights so that, for example, several properties can jointly use a road or a broadband cable. Real property owners, purchasers or holders of other rights who want cadastral procedure to be carried out must apply to a Cadastral Authority.
Cadastral activities:
Subdivision
An area is separated from a property unit from which a new property unit is created.
Reallotment
A piece of land is transferred from one property unit to another. An easement is created, changed or annulled.
Property definition
If there is uncertainty as to where the boundaries or markers of a property unit are located, it is possible to have the boundary defined.
Transfer or detachment of fixtures to real property
Swedish legislation permits the transfer of buildings or other fixtures that belong to one real property to another. It is also possible to detach fixtures.
Amalgamation
Two or more property units are merged to form a new property unit.
Partition
A property unit, which is owned by two or more persons, can be divided so that one owner gets his or her share as a new unit.
Establishment of joint facilities
A joint facility is a facility that is needed for the benefit of more than one property unit. Private roads, garages, water and sewerage pipes are examples of joint facilities.
Utility easement procedures
The owner of utilities that are used for the common good can acquire the land needed for this purpose.
Adjudication
The investigation and establishment of ownership.
Legalisation
The informal subdivision of land carried out before 1972 can be legalised.
