The Municipality of the City of Békéscsaba intends to sell, by public auction, its building plot located on Fő Street in Mezőmegyer, Békéscsaba, registered under cadastral number 11966/2 within the town’s inner administrative area.
Location, Accessibility and Surroundings
Mezőmegyer is a district of the city of Békéscsaba, officially designated as District VII, located approximately 3 km north of the city center.
The property is situated on the boundary between the inner and outer areas of the settlement, in a detached-house residential zone, at the end of Fő Street. It can be accessed via paved roads from several directions. Parking is available both on the property and on the public street in front of it.
The location benefits from excellent accessibility, as the bypass section of Main Road No. 44 runs near the district, providing convenient connections to the recently completed M44 expressway towards Budapest and to Main Road No. 47.
Utilities
The surrounding area is fully serviced with public utilities. The plot offered for sale is already connected to the sewage system, while other utility connections are available in the public area directly in front of the property.
General Conditions
Development Potential
The plot may be developed in accordance with the local zoning and development regulations. Detailed information can be obtained from the Urban Planning Group of the Strategic Development Department of the Mayor’s Office (Tel.: +36 66 523 817).
Zoning Classification
According to the Local Building Code, the property is classified as a rural residential area (LF-Ok1), allowing:
- Detached-side boundary development
- Maximum building coverage: 30%
- Minimum green area: 40%
- Maximum building height: 4.5 m
- Minimum plot size: 700 m²
To ensure compliance with local townscape requirements, the proposed building design must be consulted with the City Chief Architect.
Building Obligation
The development obligation must primarily be fulfilled through the construction of a residential building.
The buyer must complete the development within four (4) years from the registration of ownership in the Land Registry.
To secure this obligation, the Municipality of Békéscsaba will register a prohibition on alienation and encumbrance on the title deed of the property.
The Municipality undertakes to consent, as beneficiary of the restriction, to the registration of mortgages, prohibitions on alienation and encumbrance, or other securities required for bank financing or housing subsidies related to the development of the property.
If the development obligation is not fulfilled within the prescribed period and the Municipality does not approve an extension upon request, a contractual penalty will apply. The penalty amounts to 5% of the gross purchase price per year until the development obligation is fulfilled. Payment is due within 15 days following the expiry date and each anniversary thereafter.
If the buyer wishes to sell the property before fulfilling the development obligation and the Municipality grants consent, the original buyer must pay a contractual penalty equal to 10% of the original gross purchase price. The new owner must undertake a new four-year development obligation while maintaining the registered prohibition on alienation and encumbrance. This commitment will be documented in a tripartite sale and purchase agreement.
Additional Conditions
The property is sold in its current condition. Any work that may become necessary after purchase shall be carried out at the buyer’s expense.
Ownership may only be acquired at the public auction by private individuals or transparent organizations. Entities undergoing liquidation, bankruptcy proceedings, or enforcement actions are not eligible to submit bids.
The sale may be subject to the provisions of Act CXCVI of 2011 on National Assets, under which the Hungarian State has a statutory right of first refusal for municipal properties valued above HUF 5 million. The entitled authority may exercise this right within 35 days.
