Spatially Exporting Building Footprint polygons

This should be an easy one for y'all. I have a geopackage file of building footprint polygons. I need to export them into small tiles by specifying the Extents. I do NOT want to clip them, only export whole polys. The problem is when a poly sits on the edge  of the export extents of neighbouring tiles it will be exported into both tiles so I have a duplicate.

Do I really have to calculate centroids for each poly and check the centroid against the export extents?

What's the process, is it automated?  - something like select by location iterating through the footprints as the selecting polygon?

 

Select by Location

Already has a 'Relationship' property - 'Have their center in' which may solve the issue (depending on what your process is).
