How to change the cadastral number of a land plot?

The cadastral number is a unique set of digital characters. It is assigned to a certain piece of land that has a specific functional purpose. After the real estate object is assigned a cadastral identifier, detailed information about the plot is entered into the State Land Cadastre. The assigned number accompanies the entire period of existence of the plot of land. This applies even to cases when its owner or purpose of the plot changes. In this article, we will consider how to change the cadastral number of a plot of land.

Assignment of a cadastral number: features

A real estate object receives an individual cadastral number regardless of the form of ownership it has. For example, if ownership is transferred to another person, its user changes, etc., the cadastral number does not change.

A real estate object receives a new number in case of division/merger. We will consider this issue in more detail below. The canceled cadastral identifier shall in no case be assigned to another plot of land. In addition, its cancellation is possible in cases where, within a year from the moment of registration in the DZK, the registration of property rights did not take place due to the fault of the applicant.

At the moment, obtaining this number is a mandatory condition for recognizing a plot of land as an object of civil rights. It is noted in the decisions of local self-government bodies, state authorities regarding the transfer of these plots into ownership/use. Registration is carried out by state registrars.

Article 13 of the Law of Ukraine "On the procedure for allocating in kind (on-site) land plots to owners of land shares (shares)" clearly states that if the owner has not registered the ownership right to a plot of land by January 1, 2025, he receives the status that refused to receive it. Therefore, obtaining a cadastral identifier is impossible.

In what cases is it possible to change the cadastral number?

There are cases when, nevertheless, it is possible to change the number of an already existing plot of land. Most often, this happens due to the narrowing/expanding of its borders by:

• Division of real estate into constituent parts.

In this case, the initial boundaries are changed, and therefore each of the land plots receives a new cadastral number.

• Combining land plots into one.

A new real estate object receives a new cadastral number.

That is, in both cases listed above, the land owner (or owners) receive town planning conditions and restrictions even when construction has already started. Sometimes there is a situation that the existing structures on the plot of land contradict the issued documentation. In this case, the developer must change the building parameters.

Obtaining a cadastral number: what should be considered?

The procedure for assigning a cadastral number is carried out by the State Geocadastre. For its implementation, you need to prepare:

• Application.

The application has a prescribed form. Submitted in electronic or paper form.

• Original documents that confirm the formation of a plot of land.
• Land management documents are the basis for the formation of a land plot.

The specified documents can be submitted personally by the applicant or an authorized person. Such they can be sent by mail.

As for the consideration period, they are 14 days from the day of registration of the application. As a result, either state registration of a plot of land is carried out or the applicant receives a reasoned refusal to perform state registration. With a positive decision, the land owner receives an extract from the State Land Cadastre.
