FREE EQUIPMENT

 Did you know that Article 121 of the Land Code provides for the right of absolutely every citizen of Ukraine to own land free of charge? So what is the size of the plot?

 You can get a free plot of land once for each of the types of use (purpose): a total of six plots for:

1. Personal peasant economy (so-called shares): up to 2 hectares.

2. Horticulture: up to 12 acres (0.12 hectares).

3. Construction and maintenance of a residential building:

• in villages: up to 25 ares (0.25 hectares);
• in settlements up to 15 ares (0.15 hectares);
• in cities up to 10 acres (0.1 hectares).

4. Country construction up to 10 acres (0.1 hectares).

5. Construction of garages up to 1 hectare (0.01 hectare).

6. Farming (area is determined in each case individually).

So how to implement such a declarative right in practice and get a title document?

1. Decide on the purpose and choose a specific vacant area:

 There are 2 ways:

• study the general territory or analyze the Public cadastral map of Ukraine (link https://map.land.gov.ua/); Google maps (link https://www.google.com/maps/) or other resource.
• send a request for information to the local State Geocadastre to provide information on the presence / absence of land that has not been provided for use and does not belong to other persons on the right of ownership.

2. Develop and approve a detailed plan of the territory:

 Most settlements do not have such, so you have to initiate its development. However, this procedure is quite complex and lengthy.

3. Apply:

• to the local council (for plots that are in communal ownership);
• to the state administration (for state-owned areas);
• in the Main Department of the State Geocadastre in the region.

 In the application indicate the specific land plot, its purpose of the plot and its approximate size. It will be considered within a month and will give either a positive or negative answer.

4. In case of a positive answer, it is necessary to register the plot in the state land cadastre (DZK): to apply for state registration with appendices. The result will be an extract from the SCC.

5. Approve the land management project.

 To do this, submit an application with an agreed project and an extract to the local council or administration. They approve the land management project and you immediately apply for registration of private property rights. The cadastral number, location and area must be indicated in the decision of the council.

6. Registration of the property right is the last step for what it is necessary to address to CENTER FOR PROVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES at city council or to the notary.
