If you are establishing separate ownership of an apartment, non-residential space (such as commercial space), or a parking space, you will need a certificate of separate ownership. You will also need this certificate if you wish to assert the right to permanently reside in a specific apartment in the building (permanent right of residence).

The certificate of separation serves as proof that

• an apartment is structurally sufficiently separated from other apartments or spaces, or
• that non-residential spaces (partial ownership) are separated from other spaces.

Separate ownership may also be established for parking spaces as well as for parts of the property located outside the building, such as terraces or garden areas. The separate ownership must be clearly defined by dimensions in the construction drawing or floor plan.

The certificate of separation is issued by the competent building authority after reviewing your documents.
