Plot of land - Complete guide to rules, costs and process

Cutting off land can be a strategic and profitable measure for you who own land, regardless of whether you plan to sell or build. However, the process requires knowledge of rules , costs and various aspects of land division, especially if it concerns an agricultural property , arable land or plots within or outside the detailed plan.



Rules for subdividing plots

Understanding the current rules for cutting off land is crucial. The rules vary depending on whether the plot is within the detailed plan or if it is a plot outside the detailed plan , where the requirements may be more extensive. For agricultural properties and arable land there are special restrictions, as these lands are often protected by laws aimed at preserving agricultural land.

Cost of cutting off land

A common question is: How much does it cost to cut off a plot of land? The cost can vary between SEK 30,000 and 100,000 depending on the plot's location, size and complexity. An application to the Land Survey is the first step and includes fees based on the number of working hours. In addition to this, there may be additional costs for building permits, land surveys, and any changes in the property register.

  3. Decision and implementation : After the application is approved, a new property designation is created, and you are free to sell or develop the land.
