Change of property status

What a change of status means

A change of status changes how a property may be used, for example from agricultural land to land for building. The procedure goes through several institutions and requires precise documentation. We offer change of use of agricultural land so that it can be built on with residential buildings. We do not handle other types of change of status.

How the work proceeds

• Consultation and preliminary research. A meeting to clarify your needs and research the property and the regulations.
• Preparing the necessary documentation. Preparing all documents for the change of status, including applications, technical documents and more.
• Coordination with the competent authorities. Working with municipal and state authorities to get the documentation approved.
• Tracking the process and keeping you informed. Regular updates on progress and copies of the approved documentation.

Related procedures

A change of status often goes together with a detailed development plan and see our cadastral map amendment. We will tell you at the start which steps your property needs.

Documents required

• proof of ownership;
• an up-to-date sketch;
• the documents the municipality requires for the specific procedure.

Example: agricultural land for development

The most common case is an owner of agricultural land who wants to build. The land use is changed under the Agricultural Land Protection Act, usually together with a detailed development plan for the plot. The procedure includes a decision by the competent commission and payment of a fee, after which the plot can be developed according to the approved plan.

Whether and how the status of a particular property can be changed depends on its location, the plans in force and the category of the land. The procedure has become quite complex, so we start with a review before we propose a timeframe and next steps.
