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.

Statistik Austria evaluates the purchase contracts and reports an average in euros per square metre for each district and municipality. These are prices actually paid, not asking prices.

Statistik Austria, average property prices, as of 2025. Transaction prices from several years, adjusted to the current level. An asking price is naturally higher, and a single plot can deviate widely through location, size and zoning. In Burgenland the district average carries comparatively far, because municipalities within a district sit closer together than in the alpine provinces.

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.

Common questions
What does a plot cost in Burgenland?
Across all 171 municipalities with a value of their own, the middle is 33 euros per square metre, the lowest of any province. On Lake Neusiedl it reaches 378 euros, in southern Burgenland it starts at 12.
Where is it most expensive?
Around Lake Neusiedl and in Eisenstadt. The municipality of Neusiedl am See leads at 378 euros per square metre, followed by Oggau at 362 and Weiden am See at 334. The provincial capital Eisenstadt sits at 310.
Where do I find the zoning for a plot in Burgenland?
In the zoning plan of the municipality, published by the province. We do not yet have our own zoning tool for it. The binding information comes from the municipality anyway.
What does Bauerwartungsland mean?
That a rezoning is expected but not decided. Legally it is green land: you may not build there. Whether and when the rezoning comes is decided by the municipality, not the seller.
What extra costs come on top of the purchase price?
3.5 per cent land transfer tax, 1.1 per cent for the land register entry, the contract drafting and, where an agent is involved, their commission. Together that is usually 6 to 10 per cent of the purchase price.
