Lag om ägoreglering i gränskommunerna.

In certain villages in the transferred area, land consolidation rules are applied under this law. The law also defines “village” as a land-and-water-law village, except for section 60.

A land consolidation procedure should be carried out in each village covered by section 1, except for the exceptions mentioned in section 63.

At a land-adjustment proceeding, several listed land rearrangement measures may be carried out, and compensation may be set for loss of use of the border strip right of way.

Lantmäteristyrelsen is responsible for the general leadership and supervision of how this law is carried out.

Land reallocation proceedings are carried out by the officials referred to in section 43, and the National Land Survey Board may appoint survey engineers and change or end their area of service.

This provision says that, unless this law provides otherwise, the rules on procedure in the partition act apply in the same way to proceedings here.

A förrättningsingenjör should, after receiving the specified assignment and obtaining necessary investigations, preliminarily divide the villages in his area into different proceedings.

Förrättningsingenjören bör kalla de i 10 § avsedda sakägarna till sammanträde efter de förberedande åtgärderna. Förrättningsmännen ska, efter att sakägarna hörts, göra en plan och besluta om förrättningsområdet; ändring i detta beslut får inte sökas.

För förrättningsmännen ska vissa uppgifter i ägoregleringsförrättningen behandlas och slutföras särskilt inom området eller del av det, och bara berörda sakägare ska kallas till sammanträdena.

A person whose right is affected by the matter is treated as a party in a land regulation proceeding, with an exception for matters covered by 3 § 1 mom. A state ombudsman appointed by the National Land Survey for the proceeding also has party status, as further regulated by ordinance.

The survey engineer must notify certain stakeholders about meetings, and if a later meeting date cannot be set, it must be announced at least seven days in advance.

The survey engineer must summon the mediators mentioned in section 44 of the Partition Act to the proceeding, and the officials may use experts only with permission from the National Land Survey Board.

Certain land-settlement rules do not apply in the specified cases, and a dissatisfied interested party must notify the survey engineer about the decision on the redemption matter.

Regeln säger att ändring i vissa förrättningar normalt följer lagen om skifte, men flera särskilda undantag gäller.

If survey officials think a land reallocation should be carried out, they must submit the matter to the land survey board; affected parties may file written objections within 14 days, and the board may change the area if needed.

Nyskifte may be carried out, despite the usual conditions, when land cession has caused or substantially increased the need for it and the costs and inconveniences are somewhat greater than the benefit to the partition participants.

Vissa lägenheter kan vid nyskifte få odlingsbar mark i stället för skogsmark, och i vissa fall mer odlad jord än annars skulle följa av repartitionen.

After the land survey board decides on repartition, the officials must investigate land that can be bought for the state, request purchases if needed, and send a use proposal before the repartition proposal is presented.

Ägobyte may be carried out even outside the cases in sections 205–210 of the partition law if it improves the placement of the properties or otherwise promotes their appropriate use.

If a parcel or jointly owned area lacks needed boundary markers because of land cession, or there is uncertainty about where the boundary runs for that reason, a boundary demarcation should be carried out as needed.

Special mapping should be done for certain properties where part of the land has been lost by cession, unless the land is mapped together with another task in the land reallocation proceeding.

Vid ägoregleringsförrättning ska ett visst område avskiljas till en lägenhet genom styckning, om det finns förutsättningar enligt skifteslagstiftningen och området inte löses in till staten för det angivna ändamålet.

At a land consolidation procedure, officials should prepare a separate list of expired servitudes and state the burdened and entitled properties.

A servitude connected to land on the Finnish side that is no longer needed because of the land cession may be abolished.

If land cession makes it necessary to create a servitude for a property or move a servitude elsewhere, this may be done in the land readjustment proceeding even without the parties’ agreement, as long as it does not cause significant inconvenience to anyone.

At a land cession proceeding, road matters may be regulated as needed, and changes to the duty to maintain an estate road may be made only if an interested party requests it.

Certain shares in common areas are deemed to have passed to state ownership when the law entered into force, and a decision should be issued at the survey on which rapids count as being of greater value.

Certain small shared-area interests may be redeemed to the state.

A small remaining property or separated area may be redeemed to the state if the owner cannot use it appropriately and no workable reallocation can be arranged.

If a property, area, or share in the property passes to the state under sections 27–29, it is freed from the servitudes burdening it.

Some state-acquired water and land areas may be attached to properties or common areas, and certain owners must receive shares in the expanded common area in proportion to value.

Staten får under vissa villkor lägga samman eller överföra andelar till lägenheter i samma eller närbelägen by.

Shares in a common area that passed to the state under section 27 and were not decided on at the proceeding are treated as transferred to eligible holdings in the same village on the Finnish side, with their relative shares kept unchanged.

Land taken for the state is to be attached to one or more properties when that is appropriate; if not, it may be reserved for the state or attached to state forest land if it borders such land.

The owner and usufruct holder of the affected area may remove installations built for electrical installations or telephone traffic, but only within five years after the proceeding ends.

An area or share may be formed into a common area for the properties without the owners’ consent if no compensation is collected under sections 42 and 44; however, land intended for a road or drainage ditch may not be converted into a common area for the properties.

State compensation must be paid for loss of the use right to a road area in the stated cases.

Skada och olägenhet som orsakas av att ett servitut enligt 25 § stiftas eller överförs ska ersättas ur statens medel. Ingen ersättning lämnas för vissa servitut enligt 23 § eller för upphävande av servitut enligt 24 §.

Ersättning för vissa andelar och områden bestäms vid förrättning enligt gängse pris vid värderingstidpunkten, men ingen ersättning utgår för vissa inlösta andelar/områden och vissa ägare eller nyttjanderättshavare har inte rätt till ersättning i den angivna situationen.

Ersättning kan gå förlorad om den inte yrkas inom den tid som förrättningsmännen bestämmer.

Ansökan om statlig ersättning ska göras skriftligen hos regionförvaltningsverket och innehålla utredning om sökandens rätt till ersättningen.

Ingen ersättning ska tas ut i de uppräknade fallen.

The land owner collects compensation for certain attached areas or shares, the survey engineer must register the compensation without delay, and payment terms may not exceed ten years.

Om de sammanlagda ersättningarna understiger 1 000 mark ska ingen ersättning betalas eller tas emot; ersättning för förlust av nyttjanderätt till rågata betalas dock alltid och räknas inte in i totalbeloppet.

At a proceeding, ditching or water-level regulation may be ordered when drainage work is needed for the listed land-improvement reasons.

Survey officials must oversee investigation and planning for drainage work, and a surveying engineer may also apply for the permit.

Costs for the drainage work are paid from state funds as a final expense, and benefiting landowners must maintain the ditches, structures, and installations according to the benefit-based allocation.

The competent authority may use state funds to carry out certain drainage works after land cession but before the land-regulation proceedings end; Lantbruksstyrelsen decides which parcels bear the costs, and its decision cannot be appealed.

For the specified tasks, shares in jointly owned areas on the Finnish side should be investigated at the survey, unless the jointly owned area has only small value.

When a holding is assigned a share in a jointly owned area, an area is added to a holding or shared area, a holding’s area is added to state forest land, or a shared area is formed under section 31(1), the mantal does not change.

An area reserved for state needs must be formed into a plot in the cases referred to in section 31(3), and in the cases referred to in section 34 it must be separated into a plot by subdivision unless it is attached to the state's forest land.

A property formed from certain water-power shares must be created at the survey/partition proceeding, or otherwise a property made up only of those shares. The buyer of the shares may also be ordered to pay the formation costs, if that is reasonable.

In certain land subdivision and road-rearrangement situations, existing title registration is treated as applying to the expanded property, and a road association may be established for managing the new road if needed.

If the Land Survey Board orders it, the costs of the relevant works are paid from state funds as a final expense, and no appeal may be brought against that decision.

If officials find that a public road must be built to replace lost road access after a land cession, they must request a road plan from the competent authority, which must handle the matter promptly.

Om en byggnad kommit så nära riksgränsen att den svårligen kan användas för sitt ändamål, kan ägaren begära att den flyttas eller, om flyttning inte är möjlig eller är ekonomiskt olämplig, lösas in av staten.

The provision allocates certain relocation costs to the state and says some costs are advanced from state funds.

Costs for an ägoregleringsförrättning are paid from state funds.

The land surveying office may decide that certain other surveying matters within the area be handled by the land-readjustment survey officials; partition may also be carried out on request by an interested party without a special order.

Om huvuddelen av en bys område har blivit kvar på det avträdda området kan förrättningsmännen, om de finner det ändamålsenligt, begära ändring av byindelningen hos lantmäterikontoret. Berörda lägenhetsägare och kommunen får överklaga lantmäterikontorets beslut hos lantmäteristyrelsen.

If part of the units belonging to the same farm number remains in the separated area, the register numbers may be changed and other changes made in the land register as needed for clarity.

If land readjustment has caused problems in the municipal division, the land readjustment officials must, when they see reason, apply to the county administrative board to start a case to change the municipal division.

Det som anges tidigare i lagen ska inte tillämpas i Kuusamo och Salla kommuner.

After the act enters into force, the state pays certain boundary-survey and special mapping costs in Kuusamo and Salla when they are caused by the land cession.

Former owners of certain Kuusamo or Salla holdings do not have rights to shared areas and benefits on the Finnish side; the land survey office must record the resulting shares in the land register.

Närmare bestämmelser om hur lagen ska verkställas och tillämpas utfärdas genom förordning.

Section 67 states several commencement dates for the law and includes transitional rules for certain pre-commencement land surveying matters.
