Copying a land plot

Copying a land plot reflects its main characteristics and may be needed in various cases. Without this, the owner will not be able to confirm the existence of the plot itself and conduct the appropriate legal procedure. The formation of such a document is directly related to the possibility of using the functions of the land cadastral number and information about it from the State Land Cadastre (State Land Cadastre). Regarding where a copy of the land is needed and how to obtain it correctly, we will talk in this article.

What is a copy of a land plot?

Copying a land plot is an official document that is an exact copy of a part of a cadastral or topographic map and creates a detailed representation of a specific land with its location, boundaries and other important characteristics.

Such a document also provides complete information about the surrounding area where the relevant land is located, in particular in the context of determining the terrain, the location of certain buildings, structures or water bodies there. From modern practice, certified land surveying engineers create such a document on a scale of 1:500 or 1:2000. The first in the case of construction work, the second for general planning, respectively.

Why do you need to make a copy of a land plot?

Some legal and technical procedures cannot be carried out without prior preparation of a proper copy of a land plot. It is mandatory in such situations as:

• legalization of illegally erected buildings;
• change of land purpose;
• development of a project for connecting a building on land to communications (electricity, gas, water);
• design for further development;
• privatization of land, etc.

Copying from a topographic and cadastral map: what is the difference?

As noted earlier, a citizen can obtain a copy from a topographic and cadastral map. The difference between these documents will then lie in their purpose. Therefore, a fragment of a topographic map must be obtained if you need to determine the physical surroundings of the land plot (reflects the relief, engineering communications, infrastructure) and plan to obtain permits for its development accordingly.

At the same time, a copy from the cadastral map will be needed to confirm the legal status of the land (contains information about its clearly defined boundaries, existing encumbrances and other legal data) in the following transactions: privatization, clarification of land boundaries in case of disputes with neighbors.
