Building in Chemnitz
Standard land values
If you decide to buy a building plot in Chemnitz, the standard land value is an initial guide to how much a square metre of the future plot is worth. The standard land value is the average value of the land for a majority of properties in a so-called standard land value zone. These properties have essentially the same utilisation and value conditions.
The guideline value refers to a property whose value-influencing circumstances (e.g. state of development, specific location, type and extent of building use, type of agricultural use, soil quality and property shape) are typical for this land value zone. Deviations of a specific property from these circumstances result in a corresponding deviation of its market value from the respective standard land value.
The standard land values are derived on 1 January of each calendar year and published in a standard land value map.
Further information on the standard land value information can be found in the service portal of the City of Chemnitz:
