A Seksjon is used where a property consists of several independent owner units to be sold and mortgaged separately, and where it is not normal to share the property in the usual way of sharing a business.
Typically, several condominiums are in a building or several businesses are in a shopping center.
All residential sections should have their own bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and living room.
If the conditions for sectioning are met, the municipality shall grant permission for seksjoning.
A common way of writing the term for a section unit is e.g. 17/235, Snr.2, where 17 is the Gårdsnummer, 235 is the Bruksnummer and Snr.2 is the seksjonsnummer.
