Ground standards - Statutes 1992

Land benchmark values (according to §196 BauGB) are average location values for undeveloped, load-free plots of land, taking into account the value-influencing characteristics of the land benchmark plot, such as development and development status, type and measure of structural usability as well as plot size and layout. Special properties of the individual property are not taken into account. Claims against institutions of land-use planning or the building permit authority cannot be derived from the information provided in the land reference value map. Soil benchmarks have no binding effect. The expert committee derives the land benchmarks from the actual land prices. Since the soil benchmark map 1 January 2003, the soil benchmark values are created in a 2-year cycle and since 1 January 2011 the soil benchmark values are displayed zonally.
