Apply for certificate of seclusion
Service Description
In order to establish residential or partial ownership in accordance with the German Residential Property Act (Wohnungseigentumsgesetz, WEG), a certificate from the building authority must be submitted to the land registry office stating that the apartment or partial ownership is structurally sufficiently closed off from other apartments and rooms (so-called certificate of seclusion). The same also applies to the establishment of a permanent right of residence or permanent right of use.
Completed units may also include additional rooms outside a completed area, such as storage and cellar rooms or (garage) parking spaces assigned to the apartments.
The certificate of seclusion, together with the partition plan, is a prerequisite for the establishment of residential or partial ownership in the land register.
Process flow
- Receipt of the application by the competent authority of the counties or the independent cities
- Registration of the documents
- Examination of the documents, if necessary additional demands in case of incompleteness
- Issuance of the certificate (and fee notice)
- Dispatch of the documents to the applicant
Who should I contact?
Please contact the responsible lower building supervisory authority (the building regulations office of the county or independent city).
Competent authority
The certificate is issued by the competent lower building supervisory authority.
Requirements
The certificate is issued upon written application. The owner, the heritable building right holder and any person who can substantiate a justified interest are entitled to apply. Provided that all the necessary documents are submitted in full, the certificate will be issued if the apartment or the rooms not used for residential purposes in which special ownership is to be established or a permanent right of residence or permanent right of use is to be created are self-contained and parking spaces as well as parts of the property lying outside the building are determined by dimensional data in the partition plan.
Which documents are required?
In principle, the following documents must be enclosed with the application:
- Site plan (excerpt from the real estate map/cadastral map, including all facilities and buildings)
- Land register excerpt (as up-to-date as possible)
- Partition plan (it must show the seclusion of the property)
- Floor plan and elevation plan (also serves to make the seclusion recognizable)
For further details regarding the documents to be enclosed (number, quality, scale, etc.), it is recommended to contact the competent authority directly before submitting the application.
What are the fees?
According to the Thuringian Building Fee Ordinance, a fee of 50 euros per apartment or condominium is charged for the issuance of the certificate of seclusion.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
No standardized deadlines apply beyond the general procedural law. The issuing authorities may set individual deadlines for the submission of missing documents.
Legal basis
- § Section 7 (4) sentence 1 number 2 German Condominium Act (WEG)
- § Section 32 (2) sentence 2 number 2 Residential Property Act (WEG)
- General Administrative Regulation for the Issuance of Certificates under the Condominium Act (AVA).
- No. 8.6 of the Annex to Section 1 (1) of the Thuringian Construction Fees Ordinance (ThürBauGVO)
Appeal
There is no standard federal or state form. However, if necessary, forms developed by the competent authority itself are available.
What else should I know?
The processing time depends largely on the quality and completeness of the required documents.
