What may be built here?

Burgenland maintains the zoning plans of all 171 municipalities and spells them out rather than coding them. Enter an address and you see what is zoned there, with conditions and deadline. For a plot that is the single most important piece of information, because the Burgenland speciality is the development-pending area: zoned building land that may nonetheless not be built on.

  • Building land or green land: the class decides whether building is permitted at all. 27 per cent of all areas in the province are agricultural green land.
  • Development-pending means: zoned but blocked until the municipality declares road, sewer and water in place. 1,331 areas in the province carry it.
  • The deadline in the plan counts. 2,071 areas carry one, and if it expires without servicing, the zoning can lapse.
  • The village area is the most common building zoning in the province. There your neighbour may run a farm.

What matters when buying land

Zoning comes first

Whether and how high you may build is decided by the zoning plan, not by the seller. Green land stays green land, even if the listing says "expected building land": a planned rezoning is a hope, not a building right.

Utilities connected or not

Water, sewage, electricity and access cost money when they are missing. Some municipalities charge five-figure development contributions. Ask before you negotiate the price, not after.

What the plan says about size

Buildable area, building class and construction type limit what fits on the square metres. A large plot with low density often carries less house than a smaller one in a higher building class.

Budget for the extras

On top of the price come 3.5 per cent land transfer tax and 1.1 per cent land register fee, plus the contract and, if an agent is involved, their commission. On a plot of 400,000 euros that is roughly 25,000 to 40,000 euros.

The ground itself

Slope, groundwater and contamination make foundations more expensive. A soil survey before the purchase is cheaper than a surprise in the pit.
