7. Conclusion

Wilhelm Zeddies

Publicly Appointed Surveyors

• The Publicly Appointed Surveyor is a freelancer, but

works under supervision of the Land

• The appointment is given only to individuals and not

to companies

• The appointment is only valid for one Land

• In Germany the function of a Publicly Appointed

Surveyor is seen as „exercise of official authority“

which is subject to Art. 45 EG Treaty (Treaty of Rome)

7. Conclusion

Wilhelm Zeddies

Land Registry

• Land registry in Germany is under the federal law

„Land registration Act“ (German: Grundbuchordnung)

• It is performed by special departments of the local

courts (German: Grundbuchamt)

• Real estate cadastre is mentioned in the Land

registration Act as the register for numbering the

parcels

• Both systems are linked, mostly still by exchange of

paper documents

7. Conclusion


Recession of Surveys

• AdV is collecting every year data concerning the

subdivision of parcels and the survey of buildings

• Parcel subdivision (100 base in 2000)• 2000 = 100 (G.A. 50% - P.A.S. 50%)

• 2005 = 74 (G.A. 48% - P.A.S. 52%)

• 2011 = 53 (G.A. 43% - P.A.S. 57%)

• Survey of buildings (100 base in 2000)• 2000 = 100 (G.A. 77% - P.A.S. 23%)

• 2005 = 74 (G.A. 70% - P.A.S. 30%)

• 2011 = 53 (G.A. 58% - P.A.S. 42%)

7. Conclusion


Contingent of Surveys for Publicly Appointed Surveyors

• Political decisions in the Länder, to transpose the

carrying out of cadastral surveys from governmental

agencies to the publicly appointed surveyors are in

some combined with the order, to reduce the own

activities for the benefit of the private sector.

• In five Länder exists a contingent (range between

70:30 and 100:0)

• Alternative solution: governmental agencies shall only

work for public authorities (e.g. road adminstration,

rural development); reason: no VAT has to be paid

within the same governmental level

7. Conclusion


Conclusion

• Reforms will continue

• Carrying out of cadastral surveys will be more and more

transposed from the governmental agencies to the publicy

appointed surveyors

• This transposition wil be often combined with the order that the

governmental agencies have to reduce their activities for the

benefit of the licensed surveyors

• In 9 Länder licensed surveyors are allowed to provide

customers with official excerpts from the real estate cadastre;

there is a trend in more states

• But: The task of registration will remain in the hands of the

governmental agencies.
