If you establish a separate ownership of an apartment or of rooms not used for residential purposes (e.g. commercial premises) or of a parking space, you will need a certificate of separate ownership. You will also need this if you wish to assert the right to permanently occupy a specific apartment in the building (permanent right of residence).

The certificate of segregation proves that

• an apartment is sufficiently structurally separated from other apartments or rooms or
• rooms not used for residential purposes (partial ownership) are closed off from other rooms.

Special ownership can also be established for parking spaces and parts of the property located outside the building, such as terraces or garden areas. Special ownership must be clearly defined by means of dimensions in the construction drawing/partition plan.

The certificate of separate ownership is issued by the responsible building authority after your documents have been checked.
