Amendments to the Land Registry Act, in force since July 2025, bring long-anticipated relief for owners of ‘zártkert’ (garden or holiday plot) properties.
According to investment plans announced this summer, the government is preparing to implement large-scale road and railway construction projects over the next ten years.
At the beginning of the summer, the regulations governing the land registry in Hungary were amended, introducing significant changes affecting owners of so-called garden plots in the outskirts.
On 18 August 2025, Government Decree No. 274/2025 (VIII. 18.), amending Government Decree No. 143/2018 (VIII. 13.) on the detailed rules applicable during the change-of-use authorisation procedure, was published in the Hungarian Gazette.
