Building encumbrance
According to Section 158 of the Land Use and Building Act, a building encumbrance is a permanent right to use a building or structure, or a similar measure, established for a plot of land or a building site on another property.
A building charge may be created for the needs of the municipality or its institutions or for the purpose of public utility construction, even if the right of charge does not relate to the plot of land or building site.
A building encumbrance may be created if it contributes to the proper construction or use of the property, is necessary for the holder of the encumbrance and does not cause substantial damage to the encumbered property. All three factors must be met in order for an encumbrance to be created.
The creation of a building lease requires that all the owners of the property concerned and any holders of a land lease jointly enter into a written lease agreement. The building inspector makes the decision on the building encumbrance, but does not draw up the encumbrance agreements.
An application for the registration of a building encumbrance in the Land Register is made to the National Land Survey of Finland. A building charge entered in the Land Register is valid even if the ownership of the property is later transferred to a new owner.
Plot allocations
Once the land-use plan is approved, a land-use plan will be drawn up. Once the land parcel plan has been approved, the landowner can apply for the land parcel to become an independent property, which is a prerequisite for obtaining a building permit.
Once the land-use plan has been approved, the City of Varkaus will draw up a plot division.
Where a town plan has been drawn up or amended on the initiative of the town, which requires the drawing up or amendment of a plot division, the costs shall be borne by the town.
If the land plot division is amended at the request of the landowner, the costs are borne by the applicant. The cost of the amendment shall be charged at the current rate and the costs of publication.
