[edit] Ground ownership
- Although the airport is called "Leipzig/Halle", the airport ground property tax goes to the county of Delitzsch. A deal between the city of Leipzig and Delitzsch led to an exchange of area. Leipzig got ground property outside the airport and Delitzsch got in 2007 100% of the grounds of the airport. The county of Delitzsch now owns and claim taxes from the grounds and commercial interest (Gewerbesteuer) from the airport.
