18. Wilhelm Zeddies 3rd Cadastral Congress Warsaw 2011 Contingent of Surveys for Publicly Appointed Surveyors Political decisions in the Länder, to transpose the carrying out of cadastral surveys from governmental agencies to the publicly appointed surveyors are in some combined with the order, to reduce the own activities for the benefit of the private sector. In five Länder exists a contingent (range between 70:30 and 100:0) Alternative solution: governmental agencies shall only work for public authorities (e.g. road adminstration, rural development); reason: no VAT has to be paid within the same governmental level

20. Wilhelm Zeddies 3rd Cadastral Congress Warsaw 2011 Conclusion Reforms will continue Carrying out of cadastral surveys will be more and more transposed from the governmental agencies to the publicy appointed surveyors This transposition wil be often combined with the order that the governmental agencies have to reduce their activities for the benefit of the licensed surveyors In 9 Länder licensed surveyors are allowed to provide customers with official excerpts from the real estate cadastre; there is a trend in more states But: The task of registration will remain in the hands of the governmental agencies.
