Ordering a Flurkarte – official extract from the cadastral map

In Köln, Düsseldorf and Essen the extract costs 15 euros online as a PDF. On paper or via staff it is 30 euros up to DIN A3 and 60 euros for larger formats, also in Dortmund and Duisburg; each further copy costs 10 euros. The basis is the fee regulation VermWertKostO NRW, which according to Düsseldorf applies uniformly across the state.

Yes, in all five cities whose pages we read. Köln delivers the standard extract instantly as a PDF after payment; Düsseldorf and Essen sell the Amtliche Flurkarte NRW in their GeoShop. Duisburg accepts applications via an online form. The cadastre office of the city or district where the property is located is always responsible.

Viewing yes, the official extract no. The NRW state application TIM-online is free and shows parcels and buildings; the basic geodata have been open data since 2017. For a building application or the bank, however, you need an official extract from the cadastre office. According to the Düsseldorf cadastre office, these bodies do not accept printouts from freely available data.

It is in the land register, in the inventory section: under § 6 of the Land Register Ordinance it lists district, Flur and parcel number, because the land register names properties after the cadastre (§ 2 Land Register Act). Without a land register extract, the address search in TIM-online shows the parcel information. In Köln and Essen the address is also enough when ordering.

The Flurkarte is colloquially also called a site plan, but it is an extract from the cadastre. The official site plan is a separate document: Düsseldorf, for example, usually requires an official site plan from a publicly appointed surveyor in triplicate for registering a building encumbrance. We do not create it.

Anyone. Essen writes that extracts from the cadastral map are issued without showing a legitimate interest, because owners are not shown on them. Owner details are only available with a legitimate interest; Dortmund names owners, holders of hereditary building rights and notaries. If someone else orders for you, Köln requires a power of attorney and an ID copy.
