A land parcel is a piece of land with a legally registered owner and boundaries.
Cadastral Hierarchy
Land parcel management in VertiGIS FM Parcel is based on the cadastral hierarchy system used in land administration in several countries. Land within a municipality is divided into cadastral districts, which could cover a village or town. Districts are divided into meadows, which refer to a section or or subdivision within a district. Finally, land parcels are located within a meadow.
German Land Registry System Outline
This documentation refers to features associated with the concepts in this hierarchy, but depending on your country, you may not need to use them all.
Details Page
Each land parcel in VertiGIS FM has its own details page.
Land Parcel Details Page
You access a land parcel's details page either of two ways:
•on the details page for the land registry entry associated with the land parcel, in the Land Parcel section, double-click a land parcel.
•on the VertiGIS FM Parcel search page, under Objects, click Land Parcel, and then double-click a land parcel in the search grid.
Each land parcel details page is divided into the sections below.
Land Parcel
The Land Parcel section stores the land parcel's high-level properties.
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
Country |
The country in which the land parcel is located. Selectable options are stored in the Country Management administration section. |
Federal State |
The federal state (for example, province or state) in which the land parcel is located. Selectable options are stored in the Federal States section on the country's details page in the Country Management administration section. |
Municipality |
The municipality in which the land parcel is located. VertiGIS FM populates this field with the municipality in which the district selected in the Cadastral District field is located. |
Cadastral district |
The cadastral district in which the land parcel is located. |
Meadow |
In German land administration, the cadastral section or subdivision within the area selected in the Cadastral District menu. |
Location |
The land parcel's location. |
Meter |
The specific land parcel number indicated in its key, used to identify the land parcel within its meadow or section. |
Denominator |
The original land parcel number indicated after the fraction symbol in its key. This property can be used to indicate a historical link to the land parcel's original. For example, adjacent parcels that have been split may maintain the same denominator to indicate that they used to be part of the same land parcel. |
Sequence number |
In German land administration, the parcel number. |
Key |
The key for the land parcel. VertiGIS FM generates a key that is a combination of the land parcel's Federal State identifier, Cadastral District, Meadow, Meter, Denominator, and Sequence Number, delineated a configured separator (for example, 14/0233/000003/0015152/01234). The format of the land parcel key is configured in the Land Parcel Configuration section on the details page for the land parcel's country or federal state in the Country Management administration (Administration > Master Data > Country Management). Land parcel configurations made at the land parcel's federal state level override the configuration at the country level. |
Area [m2] |
The current area of the land parcel in square meters. You cannot edit this property if there are existing change certificates associated with the land parcel. If change certificates have already been made effective for the land parcel, you can change its area by creating a boundary adjustment for the land parcel. |
Original area [m2] |
The area of the land parcel before it was split or adjusted. If the land parcel's area has been changed multiple times, this property reflects the land parcel's documented area before the most recent change certificate, and not necessarily its original area. |

Map
If the Map section is available on the land parcel details page, the land parcel's location is shown on one of two maps:
•on a web map from a VertiGIS Studio application that has been integrated with VertiGIS FM.
•on the Open Street Map (OSM), a basic map that shows the location of assets using location and address data stored in the VertiGIS FM database. The OSM is available for all clients who do not have any VertiGIS Studio projects.
Asset Location Shown Using the Open Street Map
If the OSM is activated and does not appear on the land parcel's details page, ensure the land parcel is associated with a street address. The location of a land parcel is displayed based on the address entered in the land parcel details.
Refer to Open Street Map Viewer for information about viewing your assets on the OSM.
Land Parcel Shown on an Integrated VertiGIS Studio Web Map
If your organization has integrated its own VertiGIS Studio web map with VertiGIS FM and mapped a layer to land parcels, you can click the Locate (
) icon on the land parcel details page to manage the GIS feature associated with the land parcel.
Locate Icon on the Device Details Page
Clicking the Locate button opens the Edit Object workflow. This allows you to move the location of the land parcel's corresponding feature in the GIS, unlink the land parcel and the feature so that changes to the item in the GIS are not reflected in the VertiGIS FM database (and vice-versa), or delete the GIS feature so that the land parcel only exists as an object in VertiGIS FM.
The Maps section does not appear on the land parcel details page if land parcels are not mapped to any layers in an integrated VertiGIS Studio web map and the Open Street Map (OSM) is not activated.
Land Registry Entry
The Land Registry Entry section lists the land registry entries associated with the land parcel.
Click the Additional Editing (
) icon to add land registry entries to the land parcel, or to remove them. Alternatively, you can add or remove land parcels from a land registry entry on the land registry entry's details page.

For example, a land parcel could contain four different areas, each of 50 m2, that can be used for gardening. These could be entered as a single usage entry for gardening with 200 m2 as the associated area.
