Hello everyone,

I am new here in the house building forum and have a question about dividing a parcel of land.
My wife and I have been thinking for a while about building our own home. Now it's becoming a bit more concrete. In my wife's family there is a large parcel of land located on the outskirts of our town and it extends to the houses in the village. This currently belongs to my wife's uncle, who is willing to give us a part of the property for a small amount of money. Additionally, other parts of the parcel are to be separated and allocated within the family. There is no development plan for the area of the parcel. However, due to the immediate proximity to the current development, I hope for a "problem-free" building opportunity.

My first question now is how to best divide the parcel into smaller, potential building plots? I think you could probably get 4-6 parcels out of the land. Are there useful guides, what should be considered, etc.?
For the division, we have to go to a surveyor. Can he assist us with the division, or do we already have to present him with an approximate plan to orient himself? To be able to use the individual plots sensibly, a road would probably have to be laid on the parcel between the new plots. Do you have to involve the municipality before the land division to consider the road early on? Otherwise, you might have to give up a part of the newly created plots later for the road?!

There is the following problem: The property is still part of an agricultural operation. Did I understand the following correctly: If the previous grassland becomes building land and is still owned by the agricultural operation, the value increase must be taxed by the operation. Is that correct?
Then the (partial) property must definitely be transferred to us before it becomes building land.
If we now approach the municipality and explain the matter, is there a risk that the municipality will convert the property to building land beforehand? Or can this only happen at the request of the property owner?

What would you consider the correct procedure in this case?
When does the municipality have to be involved and how can we prevent the property from becoming building land before it is transferred to us?

Don't imagine it to be that easy. Rezoning farmland into building land. Then several plots as well.

I honestly don't have any big plans yet. I think the very first step will lead us to the [Gemeinde]. I just have concerns that the plot could be rezoned beforehand if the [Gemeinde] thinks it's a good idea and maybe even brings more money into the funds there..

The conversion puts money exclusively into your coffers. The effort for development is what the municipality receives. So they have no interest in your plan either. Before surveying and dividing, the issue of developability must be clarified. Agricultural operation sounds like an outer zone. There is initially no building right at all there. If anything, a new development plan must be drawn up. That will cost you a considerable amount of money and above all time. To be on the safe side, plan 2-3 years. This, however, requires official support and approval. The size of the future plots then depends on what kind of development plan is in place at the end of the process. You are putting the cart before the horse. I am perhaps thinking of a project-related development plan - but no matter what, YOU will probably have to pay for everything first. Planners, roads, sewer, development, etc. Advance payment on your part at least six figures. So first approach the municipality and clarify what is even conceivable. You see, converting farmland into building land just like that doesn’t work.

You could show pictures (aerial photos / cadastral map sections) - please also in such a way that one time the relevant lands and one time the place are shown, which you seem to consider favorably close to built-up.

Is everything that is not designated as a residential area in the land use plan considered outdoor area? The meadow (not a field) adjoins the current development directly. Our potential partial plot is built up on two sides. It would basically be a "continuation" of the existing development. So I really see no reason why the community should have a problem with further development. Of course, with authorities, you never know :rolleyes:.

The development (infrastructure) is of course an open issue that needs to be clarified.

It is also important to me that the previous owner does not have to pay taxes on an increase in value because the plot is still in their possession when it suddenly becomes building land. Therefore, I am unsure whether the transfer of the property should not somehow be resolved beforehand...
